Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

It absorbs gases, but also heat energy from the atmosphere, distributes them in its depths and thus slows down changes in the entire Earth system. The amount of energy absorbed by the ocean is therefore also an indication of the total heat absorbed by the planet.
