Answer: Its A

Explanation: The weakening of the Gulf Stream might be tied to less heat reaching Northwest Europe, and more severe winter weather in that region. This is mainly because of a slowing down of the part of the Gulf Stream feeding into the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)
