D Correct answer
Explanation

Greenland's ice sheet contains approximately 2.85 million cubic kilometers of ice. When spread across Earth's total surface area of about 510 million square kilometers, this creates a layer approximately 5.6 meters or 17-18 feet deep. This calculation demonstrates the enormous volume of freshwater stored in Greenland's glaciers and their potential impact if melted.
