Changes in global sea-levels are most often caused by shifts in climate. For example, a transgression would be caused by an increase in the melting rate of polar ice caps, which is in turn driven by:
A. a reduced greenhouse effectB. an increase in atmospheric dustC. an increase in global temperaturesD. a reduction in atmospheric carbon dioxide
