a. supplies heat to polar regions
Explanation: Thermohaline circulation is a global ocean circulation driven by differences in water density from temperature and salinity. It transports warm surface waters toward the poles (e.g., the Gulf Stream/North Atlantic Drift), delivering heat to high latitudes and helping regulate climate. It does not form salt lakes or oxbow lakes, and it is affected by heat (and salinity) changes.
