The term salinity denotes the total amount of dissolved salts in a liquid sample. For example, the salinity of the ocean water was much greater than the salinity of the lake water.

Ocean water is most saline in dense seawater. Correct answer: B

Coastal waters on the other hand in cool, humid areas where fresh water rivers run into the ocean tend to have lower salinity.
