Solution
The correct option is B Salinity
Salinity is the saltiness or dissolved salt content in a
body of water. Salinity is an important factor in determining many aspects of
the chemistry of natural waters and of biological processes within it, and is a
thermodynamic state variable that, along with temperature and pressure, governs
physical characteristics like the density and heat capacity of the water.
