Stratigraphy is a branch of geology concerned with the study of rock layers (strata) and layering (stratification). It is primarily used in the study of sedimentary and layered volcanic rocks. Stratigraphy has two related subfields: lithostratigraphy (lithologic stratigraphy) and biostratigraphy (biologic stratigraphy).

Explanation: Salinity can be defined as the saltiness or the concentration of salt dissolved in a body of water. Measured in grams of salt divided by the kg of water.
Evaporation increases the salinity of water. Basically, evaporation is the process of converting liquid into gaseous state. In essence, concentration of a solution can be increased by evaporation and since the salinity of water is measured in grams of salt divided by the kg of water, therefore, the lesser the amount of water per salt, the higher the salinity.
I think the answer would be C) a place where water heated by magma rises from the ocean floor because it is an opening on the Ocean floor that releases heated mineral - rich water.
