Which ocean process results from Antarctica's sea ice formation?

A)Increased density-driven water sinking
B)Decreased surface water salinity
C)Weakened thermohaline circulation
D)Expansion of subtropical gyres

💡 Explanation

Brine rejection into the surrounding waters causes localized regions of high salinity, leading to increased density; therefore, deep water is formed via density-driven circulation called thermohaline circulation because it sinks rather than increases temperatures.
