The option D is true, as it states that worldwide sea level was about 130 m lower 18 000 B.P. due to glaciation, and it has risen to about 10 cm lower than in the present day 100 years ago. The other options are false: A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correspond to the scientific evidence about sea level changes. Option E is also false, as while sea levels may have been lower during the last ice age, there still existed oceans and bodies of water.
