A
Wind-driven currents found near the surface of the oceans
Explanation:
Surface water currents of the oceans are at the interphase with the atmosphere. Therefore, they are more likely to be influenced by the atmosphere than deep ocean currents. This is why their direction is more likely to be influenced by winds. Prevailing winds (that blow predominantly in one direction) drags along the surface current into their path. The deep ocean currents are less likely to feel the effect of the winds but are more likely to be influenced by the Coriolis effect of the earth. This differential influences of the oceans currents form the Ekman transport in the oceans.
