The answer is; C & D


These wind currents rise and sink slowly because of they blow predominantly over oceans. Water has a high heat capacity hence heats up and cools slowly compared to land. Therefore, there also share heat with the atmosphere slowly hence the air masses above will not gain or lose heat as fast as air masses on land.
