Which of the following is NOT a consequence of space weather events like solar flares and CMEs?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

Alteration of ocean currents

Solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) cause disruption of satellite communication (A), radio frequency blackouts (B), and damage to power grids through geomagnetic storms (D). However, alteration of ocean currents (C) is NOT a consequence of space weather events. Ocean currents are driven by wind, temperature differences, salinity, and Earth's rotation — not significantly affected by solar storms.
