The answer is D: all of the above.

Explanation for each option:

a. Extreme weather: Global warming is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, heatwaves, and heavy rainfall. This is due to the increased energy in the atmosphere and oceans, which can drive more powerful storms and weather patterns.

b. Ocean acidification: As global temperatures rise, more carbon dioxide is absorbed by the oceans, leading to ocean acidification. This process can harm marine life, particularly organisms with calcium carbonate shells or skeletons, such as corals and some shellfish.

c. Species extinction: Global warming can lead to habitat loss, changes in ecosystems, and altered food availability, which can threaten the survival of many species. Some species may not be able to adapt quickly enough to the changing conditions, leading to increased risks of extinction.

Since all of these impacts are associated with global warming, the best answer is D: all of the above.
