Winds are caused primarily by-
A
Coriolis effect
B
Pressure difference
C
Rotation of earth
D
Humidity differences
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -the result of Earth’s rotation on weather patterns and ocean currents. The Coriolis effect makes storms swirl clockwise in the Southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. force that explains the paths of objects on rotating bodies.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wind is the movement of air, caused by the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun and the Earth’s own rotation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Coriolis effect influences the global wind patterns and gives the UK is prevailing south-westerlies. Here, winds blowing from the subtropical highs towards the low pressure in the north get deflected to the right.

Detailed explanation-4: -Near the earth’s surface, the Coriolis effect creates wind (and water) patterns that move to the east toward the equator and to the west toward the poles. These prevailing wind patterns are responsible for moving clouds around the globe and, thus, creating weather patterns in different regions.
