I can't see any diagram but the correct statement should be:

"Salinity decreases because the stream adds freshwater to the ocean"

The other statements are false.

F Salinity increases because the stream adds salt to the ocean

T Salinity decreases because the stream adds freshwater to the ocean

F Salinity increases because the stream adds freshwater to the ocean

F Salinity remains the same because the steam adds freshwater to the ocean
