\Large \boxed{\sf D.\ the\ exclusion\ of\ salt\ from\ sea\ ice}

When it starts to freeze, a process known as brine rejection causes salt to be rejected from the ice crystal, making the surrounding water more saline and viscous. This mechanism is necessary for the oceans to contain salt.

D. The exclusion of salt from sea ice.
When saltwater freezes, the salt doesn’t fit into the ice crystals and is thus expelled; this is called bribe rejection.
