Correct Answer: Only II


Solution : The answer is Only II .

The Harmattan wind, sometimes known as the "Doctor wind,"  is an easterly or north-easterly wind that blows in West Africa near the Tropic of Cancer. It is nicknamed "the doctor" because of its invigorating dryness when compared to humid tropical air. It blows from the Sahara Desert towards the African coast of Guinea.
