How does climate change cause the ocean's thermohaline current to slow down?

A. Increase in temperature - > Ice melts and cools water - > cool, dense water sinks

B. Decrease in temperature - > ice melts and freshens water - > freshwater floats over denser salty water

C. Decrease in temperature - > ice melts and cools water - > cool, dense water floats

D. Increase in temperature - > ice melts and freshens water - > freshwater floats over denser salty water
