Solution

The correct option is B anticyclone
A cyclone is a low-pressure system while an anticyclone is a high-pressure system. An anticyclone is created when a high-pressure region is surrounded by regions of low-pressure. Now because of this pressure difference, air starts rushing away from the centre, towards all directions, creating an anticyclone.
