Option 4: Westerlies
Correct Answer: Westerlies
Solution : The correct option is Westerlies.
The opposite of the trade winds, which blow from east to west, are the "westerlies." Westerlies are prevailing winds that blow from west to east in the middle latitudes, typically between 30 and 60 degrees latitude in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They are usually referred to as "anti-trade winds," as they do blow in the opposite direction.
