D Correct answer
Explanation

Gulf Stream (Atlantic) and Kuro Siwo/Kuroshio (Pacific) are warm currents that transport tropical water poleward. British Columbian Current and Benguela Current are both cold currents - the question is poorly framed with two correct answers. Benguela flows northward along southwest Africa, carrying cold water from the Benguela Upwelling System.
