Answer 2

• B:density differences in water
• D:energy transfer from winds

Step-by-step explanation:

• The oceanic currents are produced by two major factors like the density difference and wind action.

• They are fueled by the sun's solar radiation, Coriolis forces that is responsible for the rotation of the planet is also one of the major forces that make the current interact with the landforms.

• Difference produced due to high and low density of seawater that is due to the presence of salt contents.
