Answer: A. falls

Explanation: When moving away from the points marked as H (High) i.e area where the air pressure is high, the surface air pressure falls. This is because you as you moving away from H point and in the processing, you are also moving towards the point marked as L (Low) low air pressure point area so the pressure falls.
