C. It brings warm air and rain to Europe and contributes to its mild climate.

The North Atlantic Drift, a warm ocean current, plays a significant role in moderating the climate of Europe, particularly in Western Europe, by bringing warmer temperatures and increased precipitation. This makes the climate generally milder compared to other regions at similar latitudes.
