Answer:

C.) It will bend to the east.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The earth creates a rotational force that is called the Coriolis force which makes the winds go in different directions in the north.The south for the northern hemisphere the winds travel to right i.e eastern direction and in the south to the left i.e to the western direction. Making a clockwise direction of movement.
