The correct answer is:
**D. air flowing from a high pressure area to a low pressure area**
Wind is created by differences in atmospheric pressure, which are often caused by the unequal heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. This causes air to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, resulting in wind.
