Answer:

Oceans are becoming more acidic.

Explanation:

Increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in atmosphere has led to more absorption of the gas by oceanic water. When dissolved in water, carbon dioxide has forms carbonic acid. Hence, increased carbon dioxide concentrations in air is making the oceans more acidic in nature. Increased acidity of oceans would adversely affect the aquatic life.

Helen [10]

It is correct to say that sensory neurons carry information from sense to spinal cord. These sensory neurons then connect to relay neurons that carry the information to the Central Nervous system (CNS). The CNS then sends a signal to the motor neuron that prompts a reflux action for Mary to quickly pul her hand out.
