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.

Igoryamba

Answer:

The correct answer is ''All of the choices are correct.''

Explanation:

Pregnant women are a risk group for listeriosis, the disease caused by the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria found in contaminated food. This organism can cross the placenta and affect the fetus. Due to the decrease in cellular immunity, pregnant women are part of the population at risk and are 17-20 times more likely to develop listeriosis after the consumption of contaminated food and it usually occurs from the third trimester and appears as a disease mild with not very high fever, joint and muscle pain. Listeriosis can cause miscarriages during the first three months of pregnancy. As the third trimester is reached, the mother is at greater risk. It presents a 40-50% fetal or neonatal mortality. In the first or second trimester it produces septic abortions and intrauterine fetal death, in the third trimester she produces chorioamnionitis and premature labor. In 1/3 cases it can occur asymptomatically in the fetus / neonate. In newborns, listeriosis can cause blood infections and meningitis.
