Final answer:

Option B: In the 'warm sector' of a wave cyclone, the wind direction at Lexington, KY, and at Nashville, TN, was generally from the south.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wind direction at Lexington, KY, as also at Nashville, TN, was generally from the south, as would be expected in the 'warm sector' between the warm and cold fronts in a wave cyclone. In a wave cyclone system, especially in the Northern Hemisphere, winds in the warm sector typically flow from the south due to the counterclockwise rotation of the system, drawing warm air from the lower latitudes.

This southerly flow contributes to the characteristic mild and moist conditions associated with the warm sector, preceding the arrival of the approaching cold front. The wind direction at Lexington, KY, as also at Nashville, TN, was generally from the west as would be expected in the 'warm sector,' between the warm and cold fronts in a wave cyclone.
