Solution

The correct option is C Equator
The low-pressure region around which both the North-east Trade Winds and the South-east Trade Winds converge is called the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ. ITCZ is generally located near the equator, almost parallel to it. But it moves north or south of the equator with the apparent movement of the Sun.
