Answer:

The correct answer is options (1) and (4).

Explanation:

Due to the rotation of the earth Coriolis force is generated. As the earth rotates from the west to the east, it changes the pattern of global wind and ocean water movement.

This force allows the ocean surface water to move in the clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere, and anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere.
