A
Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere

Ocean acidification is primarily caused by the increased absorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere into the ocean. This occurs as a result of human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, which release large amounts of CO2 into the air.
