Solution

The correct option is C 25° to 35°
As the temperature decreases towards the poles, the air starts to reduce in temperature as well. At higher altitudes, the air cools down and becomes heavy. The heavier air descends in both the hemispheres in the region between 25° to 35° parallels. This forms the mid-latitudinal high pressure belt.
