CO2 which is the by-product of many of the actions of humans, has a direct relationship with pH in oceans, with the increase of CO2 production, the pH of the oceans will decrease, and decrease of pH according to the pH scale means that the environment is more acidic, therefore:

Increase CO2, decrease pH, increase acidity, letter B
