Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The region around the forty degrees of north of earth is affected by the air that gets deflected due to the rotation of earth.

Primarily there are 5 wind zones of earth-

a) polar easterlies – Start blowing from the east towards the north and south pole

b) westerlies – Start blowing from west at midlatitude. For instance Roaring Forties blow in the region of 40 to 50 degrees from the southern hemisphere.

c) horse latitudes – It narrow zone between westerlies and the trade winds about 30 and 35 degrees north and south.

d) trade winds - blow from the east across the tropics

e) doldrums - trade winds of the two hemispheres meet at a common region which is known as doldrums. Hot air from equator rises and move towards the north and south

Hence, option B is correct
