C) Changes in thermohaline circulation
Explanation: A slowdown or alteration of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (part of thermohaline circulation) is thought to have reduced northward heat transport (e.g., weaker Gulf Stream), contributing to cooler European temperatures during the Little Ice Age. Changes in the Coriolis effect, centrifugal force, or tidal patterns are not considered primary causes.
