Answer 2

Answer:

Option A – Ocean as a carbon sink will be adversely affected (1 or a) and ocean food chain will be adversely affected (2 or b).

Phytoplankton which live on the ocean surfaces are marine algae, which get their nutrients through photosynthesis. In the process, they use up carbon dioxide and release oxygen. They are the most important source of food for higher order animals.
