Explanation

Ocean currents are classified as warm or cold based on their temperature relative to the surrounding water. The currents mentioned are classified as follows:

  • Agulhas Current: A warm western boundary current in the South Indian Ocean that flows south along the east coast of Africa.
  • Brazil Current: A warm current in the South Atlantic Ocean that flows south along the coast of Brazil to the mouth of the Río de la Plata.
  • Humboldt (Peru) Current: A cold current that flows north along the west coast of South America.
  • California Current: A cold current that flows south along the west coast of North America.

Since the question asks for currents that are NOT cold (i.e., warm currents), the correct answer is 1 and 2.
