Answer:

I think it's B

Step-by-step explanation:

Oceans and Seas and the Water Cycle Completed. The oceans are, by far, the largest storehouse of water on earth — over 96% of all of Earth's water exists in the oceans. Not only do the oceans provide evaporated water to the water cycle, they also allow water to move all around the globe as ocean currents.

Good luck!
