A research team wants to monitor the effects of climate change on the ocean. Which of the following devices will the team MOST likely place on ships to gather this kind of data?

A. a CTD because it measures the resistance to changes in temperature
B. an ROV because it measures conductivity, temperature, and depth
C. a CTD because it measures conductivity, temperature, and depth
D. an ROV because it measures the resistance to changes in temperature

C. a CTD because it measures conductivity, temperature, and depth

CTD stands for Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth, which are important parameters to monitor when studying the effects of climate change on the ocean. This device would provide the team with the necessary data to assess changes in the ocean's physical properties due to climate change.
