Solution

The correct option is D A is false but R is true.
Anticyclone is a wind system with a high-pressure region in centre surrounded by regions of low-pressure areas. Generally, anticyclones are associated with less rainfall and clear skies. Unlike cyclones, anticyclones rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere.
