A
(i) only
B
(ii) and (iv)
C
(i) and (ii)
D
(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
Answer
(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
Explanation
Solution
Global warming is the most leading deleterious changes in the environment that results in odd climatic changes (El Nino effect). The overall increase in the earth's temperature will alter the wind movement pattern, thus increased frequency of extreme events like flood , drought, etc. this will also effect the distribution of organisms with altered range of diseases, vectors, pathogens, etc.
