The correct answer is (B)

Yes, more solar radiation is absorbed by the oceans than by land. To understand this we have to understand solar radiation and absorption.

The earth is covered by 70% water thus the amount of solar radiation and absorption is influenced by water bodies and it also depend on the the physical state of water( solid or water). Now, the concept of reflection/radiation can be explained through albedo. Albedo is how reflective  a substance is. A substance with high albedo will reflect all the solar radiation, Land mass having high albedo reflects most of the solar radiation and similarly oceans having low albedo absorbs most of the solar radiation.

The answer is B. The ocean will absorb more water because the land reflects it back.

Some individuals have defective genes for LDL receptor receptors rendering them nonfunctional. Individuals with these mutations
deff fn [24]
Individuals with these mutations typically have familial hypercholesterolemia.
These genes provide information for the formation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor, a receptor that binds to low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). LDLs carry the cholesterol in the blood and regulate the amount of cholesterol in the circulation. Mutations to these genes either reduce the number of receptors or cause several disruptions to their function. This results in high blood cholesterol levels and in a higher risk for heart disease.
