The two correct answers that describe how water mixes in a thermohaline current are:
b. saltier water sinks under less salty water
c. cold water sinks under warmer water
Thermohaline currents are driven by differences in temperature (thermal) and salinity (haline) of water, with saltier and colder water being denser, causing it to sink.
