The answer is B, Near the equator in the Atlantic Ocean

Seawater has many different gases dissolved in it, specially nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen. It exchanges these gases with the atmosphere to keep a balance between the ocean and the atmosphere.

What is atmosphere?

An atmosphere is defined as the layers of gases surrounding a planet or other celestial body. Earth's atmosphere is comprises of about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other gases.

Dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide are important for marine life. Marine plants use dissolved carbon dioxide, sunlight and water to make carbohydrates through the process of photosynthesis.

Cold water holds more gas than warm water and seawater with low salinity holds more gas than high salinity water. Deep water, that has a high pressure, holds more gas than shallow water.
