movement of water away from the equator cyclical variations in the height of high tides reduction in velocity with distance from Earth's poles deflection of water toward the direction of airflow
I gave my students this multiple choice question: The drag of wind results in which feature of ocean surface currents?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- movement of water away from the equator
- cyclical variations in the height of high tides
- reduction in velocity with distance from Earth's poles
- deflection of water toward the direction of airflow

Could you tell me which one is correct?

deflection of water toward the direction of airflow
