Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists : List I (Ocean current) A. Humboldt B. North Atlantic Drift C. Benguela D. Agulhas List II (Coast) 1. Namibia - Angola 2. Chile - Peru 3. Mozambique - Madagascar 4. United Kingdom - Norway Code : A B CD

The Humboldt Current, also known as the Peru Current, is a cold current that flows northward along the western coast of South America, specifically affecting Chile and Peru. The North Atlantic Drift is a warm current that reaches the British Isles and continues along the coast of Norway as the Norwegian current. The Benguela Current is a cold current found on the west coast of southern Africa, influencing the coasts of Namibia and Angola [2]. The Agulhas Current is a warm current in the Indian Ocean that flows along the east coast of Africa, specifically between Mozambique and Madagascar [1]. Therefore, the correct matching is A-2 (Humboldt: Chile-Peru), B-4 (North Atlantic Drift: UK-Norway), C-1 (Benguela: Namibia-Angola), and D-3 (Agulhas: Mozambique-Madagascar), which corresponds to option 2.
