Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

If Earth did not rotate then the side of Earth which is nearer to the Sun will be the warmest. As a result, there will be presence of more warm air.

This air will then rise and move towards the poles, that is, colder regions which are far away from Sun.

Thus, we can conclude that if earth did not rotate then air would rise and move toward the poles at the equator.

Heat rises, and it is warmer at the equator, so I think warm air would rise at the equator and move towards the cooler poles.

For the answer to the question above, so at the instant, the acceleration of the airplane is southward, the direction of the velocity is also southward. The direction should be the same because it is both a vector quantity and it does not make sense if the direction and acceleration have different direction.
