Answer:

Option (2) and (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The wind moves from a region of higher pressure to a region of low pressure. These wind is responsible for the movement of the global air mass that refers to the large scale motion of air masses. These movement of air mass causes the various types of climatic conditions at different places.

These movement of air mass in association with the Coriolis force allows the air mass to move from the equator towards the poles in a clockwise manner and anticlockwise manner in the northern and southern hemisphere respectively.

Thus, the correct answers are option (2) and (3).
