Answer 1

The correct option is B The disturbances of winds caused due to the high pressure and low pressures which leads to heavy rainfall.

Severe winds blow from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area. This leads to the formation of a spiral, just like a wheel which create disturbances in the atmosphere resulting in heavy rainfall. This is known as a cyclone.
