<h2>Answer:</h2>

B) The atmosphere gets warmer because there is less sea ice to reflect the sun's rays.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sea ice forms a reflective surface which reflects the sun rays back into the atmosphere and space. Warming temperatures which melt the sea ice decreases reflective surfaces by increasing absorption of sun rays and solar radiation.  

This is because the melted sea ice exposes the darker parts of the earth's surface melting the sea ice and increasing ocean temperatures. The heat from rising temperature is released into the atmosphere causing global warming. The cycle continues each season and the melted sea ice doesn't get enough time to freeze.

I would venture to say that the country in South America that has the least amount of disposable water would be probably in northern Chile which is a desert ie the Atacama desert which stretches from the Pacific across to the Andes Mts while on the other hand, in southern Chile there is a temperate climate with significant rainfall and considerable disposable water.
