Solution

The correct option is D Gulf Stream
Cold currents decrease the temperature in warm areas and warm currents raise the temperature in cold areas. For example, a Gulf Stream, which is a warm ocean current, raises the temperature of the ocean waters near the eastern coast of North America while the Labrador current, which is a cold current, lowers the temperature of the ocean waters near the north-east coast of North America.
