What causes ocean water around the equator to be warmer then the ocean water farther south of the equator

a. gyres in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise.
b. upwellings spew warm water toward the equator.
c. the sun heats earth and it’s oceans unevenly.
d. deep sea vents pump stream into oceans unevenly.

The answer is water molecules are split.cellular respiration and photosynthesis are complement  reactions to each other. these are reverse reactions. in cellular respiration glucose and oxygen yield water and carbon dioxide. so, when respiration begins,  glucose molecules are split. in the opposite reaction - in photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water yield glucose and oxygen. thus,  when respiration begins, water molecules are split.
