Solution

The correct option is B Wind
The movement of air from one region to another creates winds.
This happens due to uneven heating of the land and water bodies. The warmer air of a relatively more heated area rises up, creating an area of low pressure. This area pulls/draws in heavy colder air. This creates a swirling motion of air, creating winds.
