Solution

The correct option is C

c) Air current


The vertical movement of air is called air current. Temperature differences can cause air currents because warmer air is less dense than cooler air, causing the warmer air to appear ‘lighter’. Air currents can be caused by differences in temperature, pressure, or impurity concentration.
