(b) the warm Gulf Stream and the cold Labrador Current meet in this region
(c) the warm Gulf Stream flows along this region
(d) the North Atlantic Drift raises the temperature of the waters​

Answer 1

Answer:

option b is correct answer

The cold Labrador Current mixes with the warm waters of the Gulf Stream here, often causing extreme foggy conditions. The mixing of these waters and the shape of the ocean bottom lifts nutrients to the surface. These conditions helped to create one of the richest fishing grounds in the world.
