D) air pressure
Air pressure has the greatest effect on wind speed. Wind is generated by differences in air pressure; wind blows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. The greater the difference in pressure (known as pressure gradient), the stronger the wind speed. While precipitation, cloud cover, and wind direction can influence weather conditions, they do not have as direct an impact on wind speed as air pressure does.
