I can't understand how rivers carry away the saline particles from earth into sea. If it is true then why river water doesn't taste salty.

Secondly, I want to confirm everyone that the source of salinity is dissolution of the rocks of the ocean crusts which contains salt.

The option D should have been both A and C since I believe salts are already present and that evaporation of surface does indeed change the minerals and water ratio. But I don't get how adding fresh water makes the water more saline.
