Which of the following would not be a consequence of lower sea-level during the pleistocene epoch.
a) glaciers extended out to the continental shelf
b) continental shelves were above sea-level
c) fossil reefs on land
d) deposition of gravel, sand, and mud on continental shelves

Option d)

Explanation:

The development of huge ice sheets, ice tops, and long valley icy masses, i.e., glaciers was among the most critical occasions of the Pleistocene or Ice age.

During times of broad glaciation, in excess of 45 million square kilometers (or around 30 percent) of the Earth's property territory were secured by ice sheets, and parts of the northern seas were either solidified over or had broad ice racks.

The fossil reefs also provided the witness of the fluctuation in sea level, i.e., the rise and fall in the sea level.

The deposition of rock, sand and mud on continental racks isn't one of the outcomes of the Pleistocene Epoch (Ice Age).
