Answer: C. Trade winds

Step-by-step explanation:

These winds blow from 30° latitude to the equator in both hemispheres.

To the north of the equator, they blow towards the west and to the south they blow towards the east.

These winds are strong in winter and were very important in the days where wind power was needed for ships as they carried ships on trade routes. They even carried the ships that colonized America.
