The right answer is B

Sea level rise is one of the consequences of global warming, via two main processes: the dilation of water, the sea (since the oceans are warming up), and the melting of land ice.

Other processes must also be taken into account: the volume of solid sediments torn from the mountains and brought to sea by the rivers, the volume of material torn from the coast (retreat of the coastlines), the volume of the new liquid water produced during the combustion of liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons ...

The correct answer is (b). Stabilization in the sea level due to warm weather occurrence is not one of characteristic of global warming. Global warming is cause of rising sea levels due to rising temperature and melting of ice glaciers in South Pole, warming of the ocean surface, and leading to increased temperature stratification.
