Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
The uneven distribution of temperature on earth, uneven supply of freshwater, etc. affects the salinity of seawater. If temperature is high, evaporation will be high and it will result in high salinity. Again if evaporation is high but supply of fresh water exceeds evaporation than salinity will be low. So in many ways the salinity of sea water is effected.
