Solution

The correct option is B
the front

As the equator receives more heat compared to the poles, the air near the equator becomes hotter and rises up. Due to this a low pressure region is created near the equator and wind blows from the poles towards the equator. So if I stand facing the poles then I will feel the wind coming from the front.
