Solution

The correct option is B anticlockwise

When the wind is spirally moving in towards a low-pressure center then it is called a cyclone. A cyclone has a low pressure at its center and high pressure on the surrounding sides. The wind movement is anti-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
