    The correct answer is option C. "Increase in temperature â Increased rate of evaporation â More moisture in air".

    Explanation:

    Thermohaline circulation, also known as Global Ocean Conveyor, is the way that vast masses of water are moved in the ocean controlled by horizontal differences in temperature and salinity. This movement is usually slow, and serves as a way to transport heat, nutrients and other materials trough the ocean. When thermohaline circulation gets unusually slower, the heat is not efficiently transported. This results in an increase in the overall temperature, which increases the rate of evaporation, increasing the level of moisture in air and finally resulting in more frequent severe storms.
