Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. The heating (often) makes the air in some places warmer whereas cooler in others.
  2. The air, on heating, expands which makes it less dense and lighter to rise.
  3. Cold air is heavier and denser thereby it sinks.
  4. When the air in warm regions rises, the cool air rushes to take its place due to which air current is produced.
  5. This air current is known as Wind.

Hence, Winds are generated due to heating on the earth.
