Question

2 (this is a MULTIPLE CHOICE question, NOT a writing question) look at the first picture, there is a question that says "2." at the front and then has four multiple-choice answers. Choose one of the four answers that you think is correct. Thanks!

The general trend of this Argo float trajectory over its lifetime was determined from movements at the parking depth of 1000 m (3280 ft.). This trajectory is consistent
with the flow shown at 2000 m (1.24 mi.) displayed in a NASA animation of the North Atlantic deep currents (click Link 13B-3).
2. The float's trajectory, as shown in Figure 13B-2, was primarily due to drifting with the surrounding water at its parking level, at a depth of 1000 m (3280 ft.). Because
the float was carried along in the water where it was embedded, it took about
starting location to the last position.
