The correct statement about deep currents is:

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

Deep ocean currents are primarily driven by differences in temperature and salinity, often referred to as thermohaline circulation, and they typically involve the movement of cold, dense water.
