Climate change resulting in the rise of temperature may benefit Russia and Northern Europe (option 4).

Option 1: South Africa may not benefit from the rise in temperature as it is already a relatively warm region and further increase in temperature may lead to negative impacts on agriculture, water scarcity, and other ecosystems.

Option 2: The East Indies islands comprising of Java, Sumatra, and Borneo may experience negative effects from the rise in temperature as it can lead to increased heat stress, sea-level rise, and the destruction of coral reefs and coastal ecosystems.

Option 3: The western coasts of South America may also face negative impacts of climate change, including increased droughts, changes in precipitation patterns, and the loss of glaciers.

Therefore, option 4, Russia and Northern Europe, is the correct answer as these regions may benefit from the rise in temperature with potential advantages such as longer growing seasons, increased agricultural productivity, and expanded access to natural resources. However, it`s important to note that these benefits may be offset by other negative impacts of climate change such as extreme weather events and the melting of Arctic ice.
