Option 1 -> Longitude (east-west position) does not systematically affect ocean temperature distribution.
Option 2 -> Latitude directly determines the angle and intensity of solar radiation received, making it a primary temperature factor.
Option 3 -> Prevailing winds influence ocean temperatures through heat transfer and upwelling/downwelling processes.
Option 4 -> Ocean currents are major distributors of heat, carrying warm or cold water across vast distances.
Hence, Option 1: Longitude -> Ocean temperature distribution is primarily controlled by latitude (solar radiation intensity), wind patterns, and current systems, not by east-west positioning -> correct
