Answer:
A. Mauna Kea/Mauna Loa
Explanation:
Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are the two peaks of Hawai’i Island. the height of Mauna Kea is 4,206 meters while Mauna Loa has a height of 4,170 meters. Mauna Loa is one of the five volcanoes of Hawai’i which is inactive about 35 years. Mauna Kea is also inactive mountain of Hawai’i and considered the largest mountain of the world if it is measure from base because most of its part are present under water.
The world’s ocean is crucial to heating the planet. While land areas and the atmosphere absorb some sunlight, the majority of the sun’s radiation is absorbed by the ocean. Particularly in the tropical waters around the equator, the ocean acts a as massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Earth’s atmosphere also plays a part in this process, helping to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.
The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds, often vast distances. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area. Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides (the gravitational effects of the sun and moon). Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines. Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.

A global rise in sea levels

I took the test and I got it right. Hope this helps!
(Plz. Mark me brainliest if u can)
Its c.97
though its 96.5
<span>To break the numbers down, 96.5%
of all the Earth's water is contained within the oceans as salt water,
while the remaining 3.5% is freshwater lakes and frozen water locked up
in glaciers and the polar ice caps. Of that fresh water, almost all of
it takes the form of ice: 69% of it, to be exact.</span>
