Answer:

A. Convection moves he towards the west

Step-by-step explanation:

Convection moves towards the west in the ocean during non-El Niño or normal years because during El Niño years, the convection moves towards the eastern side. During an El Niño event, westward-movement of trade winds weaken along the Equator. The changes in air pressure and wind speed lead the warm surface water to move eastward along the Equator so during normal condition, it moves towards western direction.
