Answer 1

Answer: (A)

temperature

Ocean current is a powerful factor for affecting the distribution of temperature. The effect of ocean current upon the temperature of adjacent land areas are variable, depending on the direction of prevailing wind. The warm ocean currents help to raise the temperature of the adjoining regions. On the other hand, cold ocean currents lower down the temperature of the adjoining region.
