Question

In the question given below, a passage is given followed by three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. Scientists studying ocean temperatures have found that the world’s oceans absorbed more than 90% of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases over the past 50 years. This has led to the expansion of seawater, contributing to rising sea levels. Recent studies show that ocean heat content has increased significantly in the top 700 meters of the ocean, affecting marine ecosystems and weather patterns worldwide. Statements:
I. Rising sea levels are partly caused by the expansion of heated seawater.
II. Ocean temperatures have remained stable in the last five decades.
III. Changes in ocean heat content can influence global weather patterns.

A Only I
B Only II
C Only I and III
D Only II and III
