The right answer is "density increases "

The thermocline separates the surface waters of the mixing layer from the deep zone water bodies. Usually the thermocline coincides with the pycnoclin, which is the ocean layer where the density increases rapidly with increasing depth, as the density of water is governed by temperature and salinity.
