Solution

The correct option is C Temperature
Increase the temperature, expands water and thus its volume increases. While diving deeper into the oceans, the temperature of the water decreasing gradually. The density is inversely proportional to the temperature and is directly proportional to the salinity. So higher the temperature- lower the density and higher the salinity- more will be its density.
