Solution
The correct options are
A Extraction of minerals
B Medicines
C Generation of electricity
Oceans help us in extraction of minerals, food, medicines, generation of electricity, coastal tourism, and regulation of climate. They act like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water from the equator toward the poles and the cold water from the poles back to the tropics. This helps in counteracting the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface.
