The correct statement about deep currents is:

They move cold water along the bottom of the ocean from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.

Deep ocean currents, also known as thermohaline circulation, typically involve cold, dense water sinking and flowing towards the equator, while less dense, warmer water rises in other regions. This process contributes to the global circulation of ocean waters.
