Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A During spring tides
B During high tides
D In areas where cold current and warm current meet

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 fish and increases their population. Such areas are best fishing grounds in the world. Both high tides and spring tides cover the shore. This helps ships to arrive in the harbour easily. It also brings all the fish closer to the shore and this helps fishermen.
