Answer: C
The warm current flowing from the east coast of the U.S. towards Europe is the Gulf Stream.
The Gulf Stream starts in the Gulf of Mexico, flows north along the eastern coast of the United States and then crosses the North Atlantic, continuing as the North Atlantic Drift. It carries warm water to north-western Europe and is the reason the British Isles and Norway have mild winters for their latitude.
The Kuroshio (printed 'Kurosio') is the warm current off Japan in the Pacific. The Benguela current off south-west Africa and the Peru (Humboldt) current off South America are cold currents.
