Which of these long-term changes to the sea ice in the Arctic Circle is BEST supported by the Northwest Passage Maps and Reflectivity table? The sea ice area will decrease when the solar energy is absorbed over a wider area.

The sea ice area will increase more quickly as solar radiation is reflected away from the area.

The sea ice area will increase and extend farther into the Northern Atlantic Ocean as solar energy is reflected.

The sea ice area will decrease more quickly as solar radiation is absorbed by open water
