A Correct answer
Explanation

The South Atlantic circulation pattern begins with the South Equatorial Current flowing westward, which then splits into the Brazil Current (southward along South America). The Benguela Current flows northward along Africa, and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (Antarctic drift) flows eastward at high latitudes. This sequence is correct.
