Best answer
Right choice is (b) Ocean Currents

The explanation: An ocean current is a continuous direct movement of seawater. Ocean currents are forces generated by acting upon the mean flow. Therefore, ocean currents satisfy Navier-Stokes equation as they have a primary horizontal water movement.
