Let us represent the table into a diagram:

The negative elevation is shown below the sea level and positive elevation is shown above the sea level.

A. The closest location from sea level seems to be C from the diagram.

C is just 55 m away from sea level, while A is 180 m, B is 1600 m and D is 3200 m.

Thus, location C is closest to sea level.

B. The farthest location from sea level seems to be D from the diagram.

D is 3200 m away from sea level, while A is 180 m, B = 1600 m and C = 55 m.

Thus, location D is farthest to sea level.

D. The least elevated according to the diagram is C, then A, after that B and then D.

Notice that, C = -55 m elevated, which is much closer to the sea than other locations.

Then, comes A = -180 m elevated, which is closer to the sea than B and D.

Then, B = 1600 m is closer.

D = 3200 m is farthest.

The arrangement is: C
