The correct response is: It turns the Gulf Stream northeast and the Brazil Current southwest.
The Coriolis effect causes the currents to be deflected due to the rotation of the Earth, causing the Gulf Stream, which flows along the eastern coast of the United States, to turn northeast toward Europe, while the Brazil Current, located along the eastern coast of South America, is deflected southwest.
