Solution

The correct options are
A Runoff from the land
C Openings in the sea floor
Salt in the ocean comes from two sources: runoff from the land and openings in the seafloor. Rainwater that falls on land erodes rocks. This releases ions that are carried away by streams and rivers that eventually feed into the ocean.
