Salinity in water bodies increases with
Answer: A
Salinity increases with increase in evaporation and decrease in the admixture of fresh water. Evaporation removes water but leaves the salts behind, so the concentration rises, and with little river or rain input there is no fresh water to dilute it.
The other options either reduce evaporation or add fresh water, both of which lower salinity, or leave one factor unchanged. Increased evaporation together with increased admixture of fresh water pulls in opposite directions, so it cannot be said to raise salinity.
