In A, which seems to refer to sediments, implying that SEDIMENTS are consistent with THE GROWTH -- an illogical comparison.
Eliminate A.

B: sediments, where the growth of industrial activity
Here, where seems to refer to sediments, implying that there is industrial activity in the SEDIMENTS -- a nonsensical meaning.
Eliminate B.

In C, its lacks a clear antecedent.
Eliminate C.

E: the Baltic Sea, consistent with the growth of industrial activity
Here, consistent seems to modify the Baltic Sea, implying that the BALTIC SEA is CONSISTENT with the growth of industrial activity -- an illogical comparison.
Eliminate E.

The correct answer is D.
