Answer 1

The correct option is C A is true but R is false.

Grand Bank on the island of Newfoundland in Canada is one of the world’s largest fishing grounds. It is because the cold Labrador current and the warm Gulf Stream meet at this point, and create an environment in which fish thrive. The cold Labrador current brings plenty of planktons which provide food for the fish.
