Thermohaline circulation
a. supplies heat to polar regions
b. causes salt lake formation
c. causes oxbow lake formation
d. is unaffected by heat fluctuations

a. supplies heat to polar regions.

The thermohaline circulation can be defined as the circulation of waves in an ocean which is dependent upon the density. This circulation involves the distribution of heat and salt along with the waves in the ocean. Due to thermohaline circulation water masses transfers both energy in the form of heat and matter in the form of salt around the globe. The thermohaline circulation is responsible for changing the global climate and maintains the balance in climatic conditions.

The polar regions being coldest regions in the world thermohaline circulations supplies heat to these regions to maintain the climatic balance.
