they all flow in a counterclockwise direction.
they all flow in a clockwise direction.
they all move warmer water from the equator toward the poles.
they all move colder water from the equator toward the poles.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Ocean gyres in the Northern Hemisphere flow clockwise, while those in the Southern Hemisphere flow counterclockwise, so direction-based statements are false. Gyres transport warm equatorial water toward the poles and cold polar water toward the equator; the only universal true claim is that they move warmer water from the equator to the poles.

Answer:

They all move warmer water from the equator toward the poles.
