Solution

The correct option is B
20-30 degrees N
20-30 डिग्री उत्तर

Explanation:

The highest temperature in the oceans is recorded slightly northwards of the equator. Hence the most appropriate answer here would be 20-30 degrees North latitude as warmer waters are generally more saline due to higher evaporation.

व्याख्या:

महासागरों में उच्चतम तापमान भूमध्य रेखा से थोड़ा उत्तर की ओर दर्ज किया जाता है। इसलिए यहां सबसे उपयुक्त उत्तर 20-30 डिग्री उत्तरी अक्षांश होगा, क्योंकि उच्च वाष्पीकरण के कारण गर्म पानी आमतौर पर अधिक खारा होता है।
