Which one of the following is NOT a current of Pacific Ocean?

The Agulhas Current is a major western boundary current located in the Indian Ocean, not the Pacific Ocean [2][3]. It flows southward along the east coast of southern Africa, originating from the confluence of the Mozambique and East Madagascar currents [2][4]. In contrast, the other options are all part of the Pacific Ocean's circulation system. The Oyashio Current is a cold sub-arctic current in the western North Pacific. The Alaska Current is a warm northern branch of the North Pacific Current that flows anti-clockwise along the coasts of British Columbia and Alaska [1][2]. The California Current is a cold, southward-flowing current that moves along the west coast of North America as part of the North Pacific Gyre [3]. Therefore, the Agulhas Current is the only one listed that belongs to a different ocean basin [3][4].
