Here's the (A) version:
Whereas heat transferred between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs more rapidly when the ocean is warmer than the air, it is slow when the ocean is colder.
This version is incorrect because of meaning issues.
"Heat transferred between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs" doesn't make sense. The transfer of heat is what "occurs," not "heat transferred."
Also, "more rapidly" doesn't really make sense since in this context since the sentence mentions nothing that occurs "less rapidly." A more logical contrast would be "occurs rapidly" versus "it is slow," or "occurs slowly."
Finally since "it" presumably refers to "heat transferred between the ocean and the atmosphere," "it is slow" doesn't make sense since "heat" cannot be slow. The transfer of heat could be slow, but heat itself does not have a rate.

Nikita45 , 'transferred between the ocean and the atmosphere' is a past participle modifying 'heat' in option (A). Let's remove it and see if the subject and the verb work together
Whereas heat occurs more rapidly when the ocean is warmer than the air, it is slow when the ocean is colder.
This makes no sense. What do we mean by 'heat occurs rapidly...' The point is that 'heat transfer occurs rapidly.'
The thing occurring rapidly is the 'transfer' of heat, not 'heat.'
'Whereas' gives the contrast so that is not a problem.
