The salinity of the water goes down as the icecaps melt. That is because the icecaps are fresh water, meaning there's no salt in that ice. If they melt rapidly, the water mixes with the ocean water that is salty and since fresh water is added, the salinity reduces and the oceans become less salty. Please mark as brainliest

A!

salinity in surrounding ocean will decrease due to the fact that ice caps are fresh water, the more ice caps melt, the lower the salinity as the water from ice caps continue to dilute the ocean.
