Which one of the following statements is correct about wind?

Answer: A. Wind is produced due to uneven heating on the earth by the sun

The correct answer is A. Wind is created because the Sun heats the Earth's surface unevenly, with the equator getting more heat than the poles. This temperature difference causes warm air to rise and cooler air to move in and take its place. This horizontal movement of air is what we feel as wind. Without this uneven heating, the air would stay still and there would be no breeze.
