    C - Jet stream would be displaced southwards causing heavy rain and flooding is a likely impact of stronger than normal trade winds in the Pacific Northwest of the United States

    Explanation:

    Trade winds during normal conditions blow from the direction of east to west amd pushes the warmer surface area towards Asia and gets piled up in the western pacific. Although, during some years, the trade winds become weak and the warm surface water starts moving eastwards and reduces the upwelling of the cold water that is off the coast to South America.

    It is often regarded as El Nino. It happens mostly in North America. And, the warm ocean intensifies the southward shift of the jet stream bringing flood in the southern parts of United States and warm and dry weather in Canada and some parts of US.
