A是whether they be 错了吗？为什么？
还有，D为什么错？

A选项，which用在这个地方逻辑表达不清，后面的部分并不是修饰前面waters的，而从逻辑意思表达而言，是修饰整个主句的，因此在这里做地点状语，where能清晰的表达这一点。
至于D选项，首先从语法上来看，instead of 是个介词短语，因此后面只能跟名词或动名词，而它后面却跟了一个in开头的介宾短语，这是肯定不对的；另外再从句意上看，这里没有替代的意思，而是比较。

答案应该是B

A:  首先，waters exposes the remains to...这个主动语态听起来很别扭，其次，make them和whether they be 指代混乱。况且，whether they be 也很不对，明显是个完整的句子，为什么不用are
D: water exposes the remain to ... and making them... 一看就是动词不平行

这个A一看就错了。指代COSTAL WATERS。
前面有MORE，那么一定得用THAN 来跟所以D 也一定错的
