    Option A, a change in the salinity of the oceans in the hydrosphere

    Explanation:

    When the water from the ice caps melt it reaches the ocean, river and other water bodies nearby thereby raising the level of sea and ocean. As the overall water on planet earth rises, it can be either in the form of liquid or gas. Since the water that came from ice caps is pure water, when it mix with the ocean water it reduces the salinity of the ocean.

    Hence, the correct answer is option A.
