Solution

The correct option is D It forms a part of the Hadley cell.
ITCZ is the zone of a low-pressure area over the equator. But, it moves with the apparent movement of the Sun. The rising air from the ITCZ moves towards the poles and sink near the sub-tropical areas of both hemispheres, forming a cell named Hadley cell.
