Answer 2

Number of grams of mineral salt in one liter of water

.

Step-by-step explanation:

Salinity :

It is the concentration of dissolved salts .

Salinity means the saltiness or the dissolved salt component in the water body . It is defined as mass (in gram) of the dissolved matter in the water bodies .

salts found in ocean water are :

Salts of chlorides, sulfates , sodium , magnesium, potassium and calcium

For example : world's oceans salinity is 3.5% parts per thousand (g/L) . It means 3.5 g of salt is present in 1 L of seawater .

Note : Sodium chloride is major salt found in ocean . But it is not the only salt present (other salts are also found) . So D can't be the answer
