Answer:

Option B, Climate Change

Explanation:

In Tuvalu, the problem is due to its frequent climatic changes. The nation is witnessing continuous rising sea, storm, greenhouse gas issues, drying up of catchments etc.  

Most of the potable water requirement of Tuvalu is fulfilled by the storage system of the catchments which are getting dried. There is continuous erosion of beaches due to the carrying away of sand from beaches to use it in construction works and also there is excessive deforestation.  

All these devastating factors are causing a climate change in Tuvalu.

Thus option  B is correct

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The thyroid gland increase in size.

Explanation:

Iodine plays an important role in the generation of thyroid hormones and is mainly found in the soil in coastal areas and in seawater. In the developing nations, the individuals who live at high elevations or inland are generally deficient in iodine and can develop a condition known as goiters.  

In the condition, the thyroid gland increases in size in an attempt to get more iodine. However, in the countries where iodine is added routinely to foods and table salt, the lack of dietary iodine is not the typical reason of goiters.

Why do you think the snapper population changed the way it did?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Snapper population is decreasing

Explanation:

The population is decreasing since the human population is increasing dramatically.  As the human population increases, the demand for fish and seafood also increases since humans eat seafood and fish.  As the demand for fish increases, fishermen fish for these snappers more often and in bigger loads.  Snappers cant reproduce faster than these fishermen are hunting for them and so the population decreases
