    D is the answer. After a little ice age, temperatures have risen sharply in recent years, with a 1 degree rise in the last century, putting us on par with peak Holocene temperatures.

    First thought it‘s B (1) as this is the difference of little ice age (approx. 200-300y ago) to 2010. However, as it was asked to compare today with peak of mid-Holocene (approx. 7000y ago), the difference is 0. Thus, answer D is correct.
