Explanation:
The most important fishing grounds of the world are found in the regions where warm and cold oceanic currents meet. The meeting of these currents creates favorable conditions for the growth and abundance of plankton, which forms the base of the marine food chain. The plankton attracts various fish species, leading to productive fishing grounds.
Therefore, the correct answer is (c) warm and cold oceanic currents meet.
