Option 4 : Neither A nor B

The correct answer is neither A nor B.

  • Surface water temperatures in the Pacific can vary from −1.4°C in the freezing point of seawater, in the poleward areas to about 30°C near the equator.
  • This is lower than both the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean. Hence statement A is not true.
  • The Sun hits the surface layer of the ocean, heating the water up.
  • Wind and waves mix this layer up from top to bottom, so the heat gets mixed downward too.
  • The temperature of the surface waters varies mainly with latitude.
