Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists : List I (Ocean Current) List II (Location) A. Kuroshio Current 1. Antarctic Ocean B. Agulhas Current 2. Pacific Ocean C. East Wind Drift 3. Atlantic Ocean D. Antilles Current 4. Indian Ocean

The Kuroshio Current is a major warm western boundary current in the Pacific Ocean, often referred to as the Japan Current [2]. The Agulhas Current is located in the Indian Ocean, flowing along the southeast coast of Africa from Mozambique to South Africa [1]. The East Wind Drift is a cold current that circles the Antarctic continent in the Southern/Antarctic Ocean, driven by polar easterlies. The Antilles Current is a warm current in the Atlantic Ocean that flows along the eastern side of the West Indies before joining the Florida Current and Gulf Stream system [3]. Matching these gives: A-2 (Pacific), B-4 (Indian), C-1 (Antarctic), and D-3 (Atlantic). This sequence corresponds to option 3.
