Explanation:

Salinity:

It is the concentration of dissolved salts.

Salinity means the saltiness or the dissolved salt component in the water body. It is defined as mass (in gram) of the dissolved matter in the water bodies.

salts found in ocean water are:

Salts of chlorides, sulfates, sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium

For example : world's oceans salinity is 3.5% parts per thousand (g/L). It means 3.5 g of salt is present in 1 L of seawater.

Note : Sodium chloride is major salt found in ocean. But it is not the only salt present (other salts are also found). So D can't be the answer

the answer is number of grams of salt in one kilogram of water
