Solution

The correct options are
A Waves
B Tides
C Ocean currents
Waves, tides, and ocean currents are the three chief movements of water in oceans. The action of wind on the surface of the ocean creates waves. Ocean currents are generated by the difference in temperature between the warmer equator and the cooler poles. Gravitational force from the sun and the moon influences the tides in the ocean.
