Verified Answer
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 1, 2 and 4
C. 1, 3 and 4
D. 2, 3 and 4

Explanation:

Glaciers melting (2), abrupt climatic changes (3), and adverse effects on human health (4) are all well-documented consequences of global warming. An increase in the underground water table (1) is generally not a direct or widespread consequence; rather, global warming can lead to changes in precipitation patterns and increased evaporation, often impacting groundwater negatively.
