Correct Answer - Option(C)

Explanation by: Vinay
If the Earth did not rotate on its axis, the atmosphere would only circulate between the poles and the equator in a simple back-and-forth motion. Because the Earth rotates on its axis, circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection is called the Coriolis effect.
