The correct definition of ocean acidification is: **Increase in acidity of the ocean due to added CO2**.
This process occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere is absorbed by ocean water, which leads to a series of chemical reactions that lower the pH of the water, making it more acidic.
