Taking into account that the question for these options is missing, the question would be the following:

Identify the FALSE statement. If all ice on land melts due to global warming and sea level rises up to 70m

The correct answer is:

c. all four cities (Norfolk, Charlotte, Clarksdale, Orlando) will be affected by the resulting sea-level increase.

Explanation:

This would be the correct answer due to the fact that the sea level would increase 70 meters due to global warming; nevertheless, the city of Charlotte is located at 229 meters above the sea level, Clarksdale is located at 53 meters above the sea level, Orlando is located at 34 meters above the sea level, and Norfolk is located at 7 meters above the sea level. Therefore, not all of these cities would be affected by the flooding due to global warming.
