The correct answer is: B) Attract.

To entice means to seduce, to capture one's attention, to allure. In this excerpt from Incredible Oceans, Roberto Barrera explains the many uses the oceans have, one of them being the power to attract explorers and lure them into sailing to discover things on their own.
