A Northerly
B Southeasterly
C Southwesterly
D Northwesterly
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Southwesterly. The Brazil Current is a warm, southward-flowing ocean current along the eastern coast of Brazil. It flows in a general southwesterly direction, carrying warm tropical waters along the coast of South America. This southwesterly flow is a key characteristic of the Brazil Current. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) The Brazil Current does not flow northerly, B) It flows southwesterly, not southeasterly, and D) It flows southwesterly, not northwesterly.
