Solution

The correct options are
A Seas around Japan.
B Eastern coast of North America.
Ocean currents are streams of water flowing continuously over the ocean surface in fixed directions. When warm and cold currents meet, they lead to large growth planktons. This attracts fishes and increases their population. Such areas are best fishing grounds in the world. Seas near Japan and eastern coast of North America are examples of such areas.
