B. located further south during winter because cold air covers a larger area of the northern hemisphere during winter

Explanation:

As in winter, the polar get stream becomes strong when it moves to the south as the northern hemisphere gets colder and thus the contrast in the temperature makes the polar jet streams to move south. As they are produced by the factors of the solar radiation and the pressure cell formation and thus moves in the action of the Coriolis force.
