Answer:

c. High - Low

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Walker circulation is created by the pressure gradient force that is responsible for the high pressure in the eastern part of the pacific ocean and has a low pressure over the Indonesia and the weakening and the reversal is the deep cold water, and thus this El Nino causes the surface to reach above the average temperatures.
