Solution

The correct option is D They moderate the climate of coastal regions
The oceans absorb heat near the equator and then transport that solar energy to polar regions. The oceans also moderate the climate within a region. Along with coastal areas, summer temperatures are not as hot, and winter temperatures are not as cold, because water takes a long time to heat up or cool down.
