Solution

The correct option is D West Australian current
The Ocean currents that begin in the Indian Ocean eventually flow down to meet the west wind drift. It is now a cold current and continues to flow, along the western coast of Australia as the West Australian current. This, in turn, goes on to join the south equatorial current.

The West Australian current leads to foggy conditions along the western coast of Australia. It also helps in the genesis of the West Australian desert.
