The correct option is C.

An ocean is a very important abiotic factor in any environment and it have impacts on the climate of the environments where it is found. The ocean currents are driven by the global wind system, which is powered by the energy of the sun. These currents transfer heat to the polar regions from the tropics and brings about the cooling of their environment, thus giving rise to cool climate.
