Solution
The correct option is D Pacific Ocean
The Arctic ocean currents are majorly cyclonic which means anticlockwise around the Arctic.
The Indian ocean currents are normally moving counter-clockwise direction.
The Atlantic Ocean currents are a part of the clockwise setting.
The Pacific Ocean currents bifurcate after reaching the west coast of North America. The northern branch flows anticlockwise as warm water current and the southern branch moves as cold California Current.
