(A) KuroShio
(B) Gulf stream
(C) Labrador
(D) None of these.

Answer 1

Hint: The cold current flows in the arctic and Atlantic region. Stream is a word that is to represent something hot and not cold.

Complete answer:
The cold current among the following given options is Labrador Current. This Labrador Current flows in the North Atlantic Ocean. The cold current flows till the Labrador coast from the Arctic Ocean. This cold wave also meets the warm waves that are moving and outward in Gulf Stream. The combination of these cold current and hot current produces heavy fog.
The Gulf Stream is a warm Current. It flows in the Atlantic Ocean. The origin of this wave occurs at the Gulf of Mexico and this current flow till Florida. This stream further splits in the northern and southern stream.
The KuroShio as the name suggests is known as Japan Current. It is also known as Black current. It is a warm ocean current and flows in the North Pacific Ocean. This is the same as the Gulf Stream in the north Atlantic. It is a western boundary current and is powerful.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Note: These cold currents even have a tendency to go very far away either towards the South or towards the east then their normal flow. This creates very many problems for the travel ships because these waves also carry the icebergs with them. They were found to carry the icebergs as far as the Bermuda triangle towards the south.
