Solution

The correct option is A Warm current
El-Nino is a warm ocean current that sometimes appears off the coast of Peru in South America during the month of December. It increases the surface temperature of the sea and affects the movement of monsoon winds in the Indian Ocean and causes a drought-like situation in the Indian sub-continent.
