Answer:

Evaporation

Explanation:

The process by which water changes its state from liquid to gaseous is known as evaporation.
Evaporation is the process that contributes to increased salinity of the ocean.
The process of evaporation removes water and hence as the water level decreases due to the rise of water vapor into the atmosphere, more salt is left behind in lesser water, thus increasing the salinity.
