The correct statement about deep currents is:
They move cold water along the bottom of the ocean from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
This is due to the global conveyor belt, which is part of the thermohaline circulation. Cold, dense water sinks in the North Atlantic and flows toward the Pacific along the ocean floor.
