Solution

The correct option is A Temperature difference
The difference in temperature causes differences in air pressure between the two spots. This air pressure differential leads to the formation of winds as the atmosphere tries to equalize the air pressure. Generally, the larger the temperature difference, the stronger the resulting winds will be.
