Answer 1

The option that can be excluded from the list of environmental impacts specifically associated with mining is:

sea level is rising

Sea level rise is primarily related to climate change and the melting of ice caps and glaciers, rather than a direct impact of mining activities. The other options—pollution of water, the release of harmful gases, and destruction of habitats—are direct environmental impacts associated with mining practices.
