Correct answer: C. major ... patterns
- A. vital ... date
- B. important ... variations

Explanation
Ocean currents strongly influence the distribution of heat and therefore help establish long-term climate patterns. Major is less precise here because vital describes their essential role, while patterns naturally completes the climate phrase.
