Question 1300Navigation General

The correct answer is B) counterclockwise and inward. In the Northern Hemisphere, the wind around a low-pressure area flows in a counterclockwise direction and moves inward towards the center of the low-pressure system. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes air masses in the Northern Hemisphere to be deflected to the right as they move, resulting in the characteristic counterclockwise circulation around low-pressure systems. The other options are incorrect because A) the wind flows counterclockwise but moves outward from the low-pressure center, C) the wind flows clockwise and inward, and D) the wind flows clockwise and outward, which are not the correct patterns for a low-pressure system in the Northern Hemisphere.
