Increased evaporation can lead to increased drought. When evaporation rates rise, it can result in less moisture available in the soil and atmosphere, which can exacerbate dry conditions and lead to drought. The other options, such as increased agricultural irrigation, increased sea levels, and increased rainfall, can be influenced by a variety of factors, but they are not direct results of increased evaporation.

If you are looking for three potential consequences of increased evaporation, they would likely include:
- Increased drought: Higher evaporation rates can reduce soil moisture and contribute to drought conditions.
- Increased sea levels: Increased evaporation can lead to higher levels of water vapor in the atmosphere, and the warming due to climate change can also contribute to melting ice caps and thermal expansion of the ocean, both of which raise sea levels.
- Increased agricultural irrigation: As evaporation rates rise and soil moisture decreases, more irrigation may be required to sustain crops, leading to increased agricultural water use.
While increased rainfall is typically not a direct result of increased evaporation, it can have complex interactions within the hydrological cycle, so it's not included as one of the top related consequences of increased evaporation.
