The correct response is:
It turns the Gulf Stream northeast and the Brazil Current southwest.
The Coriolis effect, due to the rotation of the Earth, causes moving fluid (like ocean currents) to be deflected: it turns the Gulf Stream to the northeast as it travels north along the east coast of the United States, and it turns the Brazil Current to the southwest as it flows along the coast of Brazil.
