A. Wind
B. Convection
C. Conduction
D. Advection
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Wind is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure due to the pressure gradient force. Convection is vertical movement, advection is horizontal movement, and conduction is heat transfer.
