Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
The Coriolis force (effect) is the force that occurs due to the rotation of the earth. This force deviates the wind blowing from the region of lower latitude to a region of higher latitude and vice versa. The Northeast trade wind blows towards the equator getting diverted and these trade winds from both the hemisphere meet at the equatorial region which is known as the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone.
Thus, the pattern of wind is controlled by the Coriolis force that is initiated because of the rotation of the earth.
Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
