Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The local winds are generally described as those that blow for a relatively shorter distance. These wind can blow in any particular direction and are not affected by the earth's rotation. This includes the land breeze and sea breeze.

On the other hand, the global winds are usually defined as those that blow over a large geographical area and are commonly affected by the earth's rotation, where the Coriolis force pushes the wind to move in the clockwise and anticlockwise direction in the northern and the southern hemisphere respectively.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
