D Correct answer
Explanation

The Indian Ocean is unique among major oceans for its seasonal current reversal driven by monsoon winds. During southwest monsoon (June-September), currents flow west to east; during northeast monsoon (December-February), they reverse. Pacific and Atlantic currents are driven by gyres and don't reverse seasonally.
