I think the answer would be B: Global warming can lead to glaciers melting, causing flooding to areas and the decrease of glacial land masses. Does this help?

The correct answer is b. Global warming can lead to glaciers melting, causing flooding to areas and the decrease of glacial land masses. This is because global warming causes the Earth to heat up gradually through the greenhouse effect. It does not cause earthquakes, and it only makes water levels increase, not decrease. And it definitely leads to changes to the Earth.
Hope that helped you.
