Why the colour of the Ocean appears blue?

A. Because the sunlight falling on it is scattered.
B. Because the sunlight falling on it is absorbed.
C. Because the sunlight falling on it is refracted.
D. Because the sunlight falling on it is reflected.

“The ocean looks blue because red, orange and yellow (long wavelength light) are absorbed more strongly by water than is blue (short wavelength light). So when white light from the sun enters the ocean, it is mostly the blue that gets returned. Same reason the sky is blue.”
