Correct Answer: Magnetic fields of the earth


Solution : The correct answer is the magnetic fields of the earth

Ocean currents can be caused by the Coriolis force, density differences in water caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and heating by solar energy & wind, but the magnetic fields of the earth do not act as a primary force which influences the ocean currents.
