The Gulf Stream is a warm water current, not cold. It flows generally towards the northeast, which means the answer will be C.

Hopefully, this helps.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, that is, flows generally in he northeastern direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Along with its northern extension, that is, the North Atlantic Drift, the Gulf Stream refers to a swift and warm Atlantic Ocean current, which arises in the Gulf of Mexico and elongates towards to the tip of Florida. The Gulf Stream flows in the northeastern direction. It travels in the direction of North along the coast of Florida, and them moves eastward towards the North Carolina, that is, northeast across the Atlantic.
