im pretty sure its B.
but i know its not A. or D. because those are nonrenewable
but it is possible that it is C.
If all the ice covering Antarctica , Greenland, and in mountain glaciers around the world were to melt, sea level would rise about 70 meters (230 feet). The ocean would cover all the coastal cities. And land area would shrink significantly. ... Scientists are studying exactly how ice caps disappear.
The difference between a hypothesis and theory is that the hypothesis is based on observations, but doesn't have a solid proof, while the theory is based on solid proof.
So in order for the scientist to make his hypothesis into theory about the connection of all the Earth's oceans, will need to provide a proof. This proof can be obtained by a sea traveling that will be well documented, and during the travel the scientist to manage to sail through all of the Earth's oceans without having any physical obstacle between any of them.
