Explanation
To match the currents, look at their geographic locations:
1. Oyashio (4) is a cold current flowing south from the Arctic along the east coast of Russia and northern Japan.
2. Kuroshio (1) is a warm current flowing north along the east coast of Japan, meeting the Oyashio.
3. Benguela (3) is a cold current flowing north along the west coast of southern Africa.
4. Humboldt (2), or Peru Current, flows north along the west coast of South America.
Matching these locations (A=Oyashio, B=Kuroshio, C=Benguela, D=Humboldt) gives the sequence 4-1-3-2.
