Solution

The correct option is A

True


Wind is formed due to the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun. Since the earth's surface is made of various land and water formations, it absorbs the sun's radiation unevenly causing differences in the temperature. We know that air flows from a region of higher pressure to lower pressure, hence resulting in the flow of air.
