Here is the original text from which the quotations in the options below are taken:
The responses of birds to acute climatic stress are not well studied, but birds have
been adapting to such stresses for tens of millions of years, and they’re surprising us
all the time—emperor penguins relocating their breeding grounds as the Antarctic ice
melts, tundra swans leaving the water and learning to glean grains from agricultural
fields. Not every species will manage to adapt. But the larger and healthier and more
diverse our bird populations are, the greater the chances that many species will
survive, even thrive. To prevent extinctions in the future, it’s not enough to curb our
carbon emissions. We also have to keep a whole lot of wild birds alive right now.

Here is the original text from which the quotations in the options below are taken:
It was long believed that massive “climate events” such as severe storms pushed
people to migrate. However, scholarship in the 2010s showed that, while climate
events do affect climate-induced migration, they are not the only factor: sea-level
rise, higher temperatures, and disruption of water cycles, known collectively as
“climate processes,” are perhaps more significant push factors than climate events.

database article

Selected b.
Answer: It is important not to confuse “climate events,” such as a flood or a storm
from “climate processes,” which are steadier shifts in sea-level rise or
temperatures, for example. It is these “processes” rather than the
“events” that cause people to migrate (Skinner, 2018, para. 14).
