It is true that the air circulates counterclockwise in diagram B because the water cools slower than the land.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The air flows in an anti clockwise direction in that diagram because water takes more time to cool down comparatively slower than the land because a lot of heat is required to heat the water and therefore water has a lot of heat stored in water causing the water to heat slower than the land even if they let the energy out at the same time still water takes more time.

Answer and Explanation:
In case, the major ocean currents stops or slows down, the heat distribution on the Earth will be affected in the following ways:
- There would be quite significant climatic changes.
- It affects one of the major phenomena in the ocean , the thermohaline circulation of the ocean which is responsible for the supply of heat to the polar areas.
- Heat distribution is affected in such a way that keeps the warm water of the equatorial region remains in the same region and can not delivered to the polar areas.
- This phenomena results in more heat in the equatorial region and colder polar areas.
