Respuesta :
In the oceans, place-to-place differences in water temperature and other characteristics are most prominent near the surface.
The temperature of ocean water varies by location, it has place-to-place differences both in terms of latitude and depth, due to variations in solar radiation and due to the physical properties of water. The ocean surface temperature is the water temperature which is close to the ocean's surface.
The surface temperature of the world's oceans varies mainly with latitude. The warmest waters are generally near the equator and the coldest waters are in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
There are four factors which are the reason behind temperature variation near the surface, they are- latitude, altitude, ocean currents, and distance from the sea.
Hence, option C is correct.
