Hey there!

I believe the answer you are looking for here is the rising air near the equator. (I don't exactly know if this is the correct answer but I do know that prevailing winds can vary due to the uneven heating of the Earth) so you can make your choice based on my knowledge but you should also perhaps wait for another person's opinion.

I hope this helps and that you have a great day! :)

Various types of breezes also aid in movement of winds. For example sea  breeze helps in prevailing  winds which are light in nature. To display the direction  of  prevailing  winds various tools are used such as wind Roses. Winds differ in in latitudes due to rotation of earth.

Burka [1]

The correct answer is A. An oak tree

The term "primary producer" is used to describe organisms that can produce their own energy without feeding on others, this includes plants and algae that produce food and energy through photosynthesis using light and other inorganic compounds. Additionally, the primary producers can be identified because in ecosystems they are always on the first level and they are eaten by others.
