The term "marine" refers to anything related to the sea or ocean, so it is the most appropriate term to describe the odors experienced at the sea. The other options, "ozonic" and "aquatic," do not specifically capture the association with the sea and are not commonly used to describe these types of odors.

This substance, when combined with the scent of coconut, could create a smell similar to milk and coconut. Therefore, the correct answer is coconut.
