Answer:

(Someone deleted my answer) The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

A low pressure system has lower pressure at its center than the areas around it. Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet. As the air rises, the water vapor within it condenses, forming clouds and often precipitation.

A high pressure system is essentially a clockwise flow of dry, sinking air that typically builds into a region behind a departing storm system. High pressure systems can be linked to the jet stream by finding areas where the jet bulges northward.

A low-pressure system usually brings warm dry air and clear skies, while a high-pressure system usually brings warm moist air and precipitation.
