Respuesta :

Answer: C. The melting ice means less habitat for some marine species.

Explanation:

The melting of ice of Artic sea ice will lead to the increase in the water levels which will be suitable for the survival of some of the aquatic species like krills, whales and fishes. But the animals which thrive over the frozen ice of Artic sea like penguines, polar bear will not survive.Hence, the diversity of the region will reduce.
