The correct option is A 1 only
A Western Disturbance is an extratropical storm caused due to low pressure depressions in the Mediterranean region that brings sudden winter rain to the northwestern parts of the Indian subcontinent. It is a non-monsoonal precipitation pattern driven by the westerlies.
They are not local winds but are the global phenomenon and is embedded with westerlies.
