Answer 1

The best choice that shows a logical chain of cause and effect relationships resulting from human activity is:

Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; increased water vapor in the atmosphere; increase in severe storms; increase flooding.

This sequence illustrates how the increase in carbon dioxide (a result of human activities such as burning fossil fuels) leads to increased water vapor (since warmer air can hold more moisture), which contributes to more severe storms and ultimately results in flooding.
