The least likely reason that a seal needs ice cover is "to consume prey." While seals may hunt near ice, they do not require ice cover specifically for the act of consuming prey. The other options—getting in and out of water, protecting itself from the sun, and reproducing—are more directly related to seals' dependency on ice environments.
