Final answer:

Radiation imbalances at different latitudes lead to hurricanes, global winds, and ocean currents, so the correct answer is D) A, B, and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radiation imbalances at different latitudes result from the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which causes differences in temperature and pressure.

These differences lead to a number of atmospheric and oceanic phenomena. Hurricanes, global winds, and ocean currents are all outcomes of these imbalances. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is D) A, B, and C.
