Solution

The correct option is D Sargasso Sea
The North Atlantic Gyre results in the formation of a region called the Sargasso Sea off the coast of North America. Even though the sea is bounded by currents on all four sides, the area enclosed is stagnant and doesn’t move. It actually gets the name from the Sargassum seaweed that is present there.
