Solution

The correct option is D It would result in the lowering of sea level due to a higher rate of evaporation
Water vapours and $C O_{2}$ are the main contributors to greenhouse effect. $C H_{4}, O_{3}$ and $C F C$ are other contributors to greenhouse effect. Greenhouse effect causes the temperature to rise in the troposphere, which leads to melting of glaciers and the subsequent rise in sea levels.
