Answer:

It increases the amount of precipitation ( B )

Step-by-step explanation:

The warming of the world's ocean increases the rate of precipitation because when the water bodies heat up there is an increase in Evaporation of water molecules into the atmosphere and this water molecules when they get into the atmosphere which more cooler they condense and form clouds .

When the atmosphere gets saturated with this vapors then precipitation in the form of rain or ice will then occur. therefore the warming of the oceans increases the amount of precipitation in a region.
