Convection is the correct answer because it is the process by which heat energy is transferred through fluid (gas or liquid) motion. In the case of a warm ocean transferring heat to the air above, the warmer water at the ocean's surface heats the air in direct contact with it. This heated air becomes less dense and rises, creating upward motion and transferring the heat energy to the surrounding air through convection. This process creates air currents and helps to distribute heat throughout the atmosphere.
