Solution

The correct option is B are best fishing grounds
Ocean currents are streams of water flowing continuously over the ocean surface in fixed directions. When warm and cold currents meet, they lead to growth of planktons. This attracts fish and increases their population. Such areas are best fishing grounds in the world.
