Answer:

B. antarctica

Step-by-step explanation:

The Humboldt Current, named for Alexander von Humboldt, the German naturalist and geographer who devoted much of his work to South America, is small and sluggish in comparison to the GULF STREAM and works in the opposite fashion, bringing colder water north from ANTARCTICA and lowering temperatures along the Pacific coast by 45 to 47 degress F (7 to 8 degrees C).
