Though all the threats are highly potent, sea level rise will cause option C.

Low land areas will be most affected by rising sea level and flooded with sea water, and the result would be soil erosion, property damage, loss of livable land for humans, contamination of soil and agricultural land areas, and loss of habitat for other animals and living things.
