Detailed Solution

The Coriolis force, which is produced by the earth's rotation, changes the direction of ocean currents. The direction of the water is also affected by the wind that is blowing over the ocean's surface. The majority of the world's ocean currents move in the same general direction as the dominant wind. Ocean currents are created as a result of this salinity and density change, and salinity causes water to become denser.
Hence, option 4 is correct.
