I am taking the test right no and I picked the answer C. But I am not 100% sure that it is the correct answer. It just seems to be the one that makes the most sense.

Answer: The ocean absorbs and transports heat around the world.

The ocean and atmosphere are linked. They are responsible for transferring heat and fresh water and air across the world. The oceans can trap heat energy from the sunlight more than that by land surfaces on earth. The trapped heat from ocean is transferred to the air which is being transmitted all around the world. This indicates that the ocean plays a large role in climatic change.
