Solution

The correct options are
B Ocean surfaces
C Plains
The speed of the wind will be higher over ocean surfaces and plains as there are less obstacles. It is because there is not as much friction over the water. The land has mountains, coastal barriers, trees, human-made structures, and sediments that offers resistance to the wind flow.
