Solution

The correct option is A 17%
The upper flow leaves the Black Sea and carries surface water out of it. Meanwhile a bottom flow carries salt water, about 35‰ from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea. The salty water mixes with the waters of the basin proper and that results in a comparatively low salinity at the surface, about 17%.
