Solution

The correct option is A a region of high pressure to low pressure
Air near the surface heats up and rises when the temperature of a place is high. This creates a low pressure area. If temperature of a place is low, air becomes heavy and sinks. It creates a high pressure area. Air generally moves from a region at high pressure to a region at low pressure.
