Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

The air forming in the Northern hemisphere has the following characteristics such as-

  • In a low-pressure region, the wind blows inward towards the centre of low pressure and rotates in a counterclockwise manner.
  • Whereas, in a high-pressure zone, the wind blows outward from the centre of the high pressure and thereby rotates in a clockwise pattern.
  • The overall movement of air is in the upward direction, forming the zones of the low and high-pressure zone.

Thus, the divergence of air movement is not associated with the low-pressure system of Northern hemisphere.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
