Answer: C

The warm Indian Ocean current is the Agulhas current.

The Agulhas current flows south-west along the east coast of South Africa, carrying warm water from the tropical Indian Ocean as the western boundary current of the South Indian Ocean gyre. It is one of the strongest currents in the world's oceans.

The Canary current is a cold current of the North Atlantic. The Florida current is warm but in the Atlantic, feeding the Gulf Stream. The Kurile (Oyashio) current is a cold current of the North Pacific off Russia and Japan.
