Explanation:

• The question focuses on oceans' role in heating Earth.
• Absorbing and transporting solar energy directly relates to distributing heat across the planet.
• Transporting nutrients/waste is about ecosystem support, not heating.
• Oceans cannot create solar energy; they only absorb it.
• Wearing away rock/soil is erosion, unrelated to heating.
