Solution

The correct option is A 55° and 65°
Due to earth’s curvature, the area between two parallels gets reduced as we move towards the poles. There is a reduction in friction leads to the formation of a low pressure belt, known as the sub-polar low pressure belt. This belt is formed between 55° and 65° in both hemispheres.
