Need quick advice - wiring heating pad

Hi, I am replacing the heating pad on my freshwater tank. I don’t believe the last one was hooked up to AC, however … I have a black, white, and green DC wire AND a pair of AC wires on the pad, and I do have corresponding wires under the trailer in that area. Should I just hook all these up? Or the three DC only? Photo of the underside of the trailer attached.

I thought the pads were DC, not AC, thus it should not be involved.

This pad does have an AC option, but on closer inspection I don't think the AC that I'm seeing under the trailer is for that (god knows what it's for - I know it doesn't run through the switch that operates the pad) so ... we'll just chalk it up to mysteries.

I believe they are shown/listed as 12v heat pads......
