Global air circulation cells move air "clockwise in the Northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern hemisphere".

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Global circulation is defined as the global connection of winds, through which the requisite heat transport from tropical latitudes to polar latitudes carried out. Each hemisphere comprises with three cells, such as Hadley, Ferrel and Polar cell, air circulation take place in this through the complete depth of the troposphere.

The worldwide circulation cells allow passage of air in clockwise pattern in the northern hemisphere while in southern hemisphere circulate in counter-clockwise pattern from equator to poles but in different directions and at different latitudes.
