Question 1403Navigation General

The correct answer is A) Benguela Current. On a direct passage from London, England, to Cape Town, South Africa, the primary current you would encounter is the Benguela Current. The Benguela Current is a cold, northward-flowing ocean current that originates from the South Atlantic Gyre and flows along the southwestern coast of Africa, passing by Cape Town. This current is a key feature of the maritime environment in this region and is important for mariners to be aware of when planning and executing a voyage between these two locations. The other answer choices are incorrect because they represent currents in different regions that would not be encountered on this particular passage. The Falkland Current is located off the coast of Argentina, the Brazil Current flows along the eastern coast of South America, and the Norway Current is found in the North Atlantic, far from the route between London and Cape Town.
