The correct response that describes the Coriolis effect is:

the direction of air currents in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

The Coriolis effect refers to the phenomenon where the rotation of the Earth causes moving air and water to turn and twist rather than moving in a straight line, which influences the direction of wind patterns in different hemispheres.
