    C The bending of wind because of Earth's rotation

    Explanation:

    The Coriolis effect is the bending of wind due to earth's rotation. It is responsible for a broad range of phenomenon on the earth surface.

    It stems from the deflection of a moving bodies in a frame of reference that is constantly rotating.

    The deflection or blending of wind as the earth rotates is caused by this effect.

    Due to this, the wind moves towards the right at the northern pole and the left at the southern pole.
