this is not a writing question, I promise. stop rejecting it please, it's just an innocent multiple choice question. If you answer it this time instead of rejecting it ill give you a kiss on the lips.

This mid-winter casting showed a shallow surface layer 200 m or so thick with ______ salinity water compared to waters immediately below the surface layer. Greater heating during the longer daily periods of spring and summer sunlight and more precipitation than evaporation or meltwater probably explain the contrasts between surface and sub-surface temperatures and salinities.
a.colder and lower
b.warmer and lower
c.warmer and higher
