El Niño is a climate pattern that occurs every few years when warm surface water accumulates along the Peru-Ecuador coast, disrupting the southeast tradewinds and displacing the doldrums. This pattern is also associated with a displacement of the jet stream. La Niña, on the other hand, is the opposite pattern that produces cool surface water instead of warm. Therefore, option A is true, option B is true, option C is true, and option D is false. The statement that combines all three true statements is option E.
