Solution

The correct option is A Horizontal
Wind is the horizontal movement of the air. The differences in air pressure within our atmosphere causes the wind. Under high pressure, air moves towards area of low pressure. The greater the difference in pressure, the faster the air flows. Wind is described with direction and speed. The direction from which the wind is blowing describes the direction of wind.
