Answer:

Volcanic gases. (Ans A)

Explanation:

Ocean water is salty because of the presence of dissolved salt. When water contact with a rock it starts weathering processes and this process starts to dissolve the soluble elements such as sodium out of the rock.

In volcanic gases, lots of chlorine ions are present in the atmosphere, these ions easily dissolve with water and produce the large flux of chloride that splashes into the oceans. So, the most common source of chloride ions in ocean waters comes from the volcanic explosions.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

RhoA is a protein which belongs to the Rho GTPase family proteins and related Ras superfamily. The Rho A protein is involved in the cell division before the cytokinesis as they are involved in the formation of cytokinesis structures like the actin-myosin rings and the contractile ring formation.

In the given question, if the drug inhibits the activity of RhoA, therefore, cytokinesis will be affected and the cell will complete all the stages of Mitosis except cytokinesis. The cells will be mostly observed in the telophase as cytokinesis will take place after that.

Thus, Option-A is correct.
