Answer: a. deeper current

The deep ocean water and wind driven currents are responsible for the fluctuation in the salinity and temperature. The deeper regions of the ocean exhibit cold and denser water and the superficial layers of the ocean exhibit the warm and less denser water.

Therefore, according to the above oceanographic phenomena, the water changes from cold to warm at the north pacific bouy station because of the deeper water currents, which distributes the cold water in the north pacific station.
