This would be B, La Niña.


Why?
El Niño brings in warmer air, so it wouldn't be that. La Nina causes unusually cold sea. If it helps, try to remember it by thinking the two partners, El Niño is the hot one, and La Niña is the cold one. They're opposites.

Hope that somewhat helped!

Answer:

The correct answer is - b. La Nina

Step-by-step explanation:

The central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean are experiencing cooler than the average during La Nina which is a weather pattern found in the pacific ocean especially in the central and eastern tropical area.

In this pattern rainfall increases on the ocean with warm waters and decreases in a cooler area of the ocean which is the central tropical pacific. These are opposite conditions to the El Nina weather pattern as El Nina warmer than the average sea surface.
