As a result of fresh water entering the eastern equatorial Pacific, the salinity there is Between 30 and 35.

<h3>Salinity in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific </h3>

The freshwater that flows into the Pacific at that region has little to no salinity.

When it joins the Pacific, it mixes with the water which is quite concentrated and dilutes it such that the salinity goes to somewhere between 30 and 35.

In conclusion, option B is correct.
