Answer 1

A. The Sun influences the formation of waves.

This statement best describes the overall effect of the Sun on the oceans because it directly relates to the energy that the Sun provides, which affects atmospheric conditions and subsequently impacts wave formation. While the Sun does have other effects on marine life and ocean chemistry, its primary influence on the physical properties of the ocean, including waves, is well recognized.
