Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The Coriolis force usually refers to that force which generates due to the rotation of the earth. This force directly affects the path of the moving wind and ocean water from the equatorial region to the polar region. This force has the maximum effect in both the poles and has no effect in the equatorial region.

It forces the large scale movement of water and wind, to travel in a clockwise and anticlockwise pattern in the northern and southern hemispheres respectively.  

Thus, this force results from the rotation of the earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).
