The correct answer is D. Gulf of Mexico

Explanation

The salinity of the waters is a value that measures the amount of salt dissolved in the water in a certain area. In the case of the Atlantic Ocean, studies have affirmed that this salinity has its minimum values in the area that is located just north of the equator, high latitudes, and at the mouths of rivers. On the other hand, the maximum value of salinity is around 25 ° north latitude, for example, the Gulf of Mexico. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Gulf of Mexico.
