The correct explanation of how ocean currents affect climate is: "Ocean currents change the temperature of air masses. Warm ocean currents transport heat from the equator to the poles."

This statement accurately captures the role of warm ocean currents in redistributing heat, which in turn influences the temperature of air masses and overall climate patterns.
