Solution

The correct options are
B Glacier melting
C Rising sea levels
A train accident is a man made error. A tsunami is a natural disaster usually caused by an underwater earthquake. Both of these are not consequences of pollution. Pollution causes global warming. Global warming leads to an increase in the earth's temperature. This leads to melting of glaciers, rising of sea levels, degradation of soil quality, pollution of resources, destruction of natural habitats, etc.
