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.

Muscular system. Helps in the circulation of foods and blood and allows it to produce voluntary movement.Its major organs are cardiac muscles, smooth and skeletal muscles.

Digestive system. It absorbs and converts food into molecules for cell use and it also helps in elimination of solid waste. Its organs are mouth, stomach, and intestines. It interacts with cardiovascular and excretory systems.

Urinary system. It helps in elimination of salt, excess water, and body waste. Its organs are bladder, urethra, urinary tract, and ureterus. It reacts with the nervous system where bladder sends sensory into the brain and then brain control urination.
