This claim is trivially true by definition and the laws of fluid volume, so no citation is needed.

The analysis

The claim states a straightforward mathematical and physical truism: adding 25 percent to the volume of the global ocean will necessarily raise the sea level by a calculable amount, based on the surface area of the Earth's oceans. Per instructions, trivial or axiomatic observations are classified as COMMON_KNOWLEDGE without attaching evidence papers.
