Solution

The correct option is B Gyres
Around the equator, there are two currents that flow. One is the North Equatorial Current and the other is the South Equatorial Current. Both these currents move from east to west. In the case of oceans, the movement of the water is circular. This circular motion is called a gyre. Gyres are large systems of rotating ocean currents.
