a. the rate of alpine glacier melting will decrease.
b. much of the east coast will flood.
c. the amount of earth covered by ice will increase to 25 percent.
d. average sea level will decrease by 500 millimeters.

Explanation:

When Earth's average temperature warms, ice melts more (so A and C are wrong). Melting ice causes sea - level rise (so D is wrong). Warmer temperatures and ice - melt can lead to flooding in coastal areas like the East Coast.

B. Much of the East Coast will flood.
