Answer 1

The correct response is: It turns the Gulf Stream northwest and the Brazil Current northeast.

The Coriolis effect influences the direction of ocean currents, causing them to be deflected: in the Northern Hemisphere, currents are turned to the right (east) and in the Southern Hemisphere, they are turned to the left (west). This results in the Gulf Stream moving northwest and the Brazil Current moving northeast.
