Answer:

The lowest density seawater is present in Surface Mixed layer

Step-by-step explanation:

The ocean is layered into three zones based on the density of seawater.

  1. The mixed layer,
  2. The pycnoclinen layer
  3. The deep layer.

The surface mixed layer is a layer where this turbulence is generated by winds, surface heat fluxes, or processes such as evaporation or sea ice formation which result in an increase in salinity and the decrease in the density.
