A. Sea level is rising

This option can be excluded from the list of environmental impacts of mining, as rising sea levels are primarily related to climate change and global warming, rather than directly caused by mining activities. The other options (B, C, and D) are direct environmental impacts that are commonly associated with mining operations.
