Answer:

C. surface currents that move in a path similar to the wind currents

Step-by-step explanation:

The wind's frictional force drags the surface of the ocean, causing the water to move in the same direction as the wind. The resulting surface currents can influence weather patterns and impact marine ecosystems. Deep sea currents are driven by differences in water temperature and salinity, and are not directly affected by the wind's frictional force on the surface of the ocean.
