B Correct answer
Explanation

The blue color of the sky is caused by Rayleigh scattering - sunlight is scattered by gas molecules in the atmosphere, with shorter blue wavelengths scattering more than longer red wavelengths. The ocean appears blue because it reflects the sky's blue light, not the other way around. This is a common misconception about the cause of the sky's color.
