Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are

Winds bend towards the right of its motion in northern hemisphere, i.e., winds swirl in the anticlockwise direction. They bend towards left in the southern hemisphere, i.e., winds swirl in the clockwise direction.
This is due to a effect called the coriolis effect. It is the apparent curvature of global winds, ocean currents, and everything else that moves freely across the Earth’s surface due to the rotation of Earth on its own axis.
