Solution

The correct option is B 90%
The Antarctic ice sheet is an enormous single mass of ice on Earth. It covers an area of almost 14 million sq. km and contains 30 million cubic km of ice. Around 90% of the Earth's ice mass is in Antarctica, which, if melted, would cause sea levels to rise by 58 metres.
