D. uneven heating of the Earth's surface.
Global winds are primarily driven by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which causes differences in air pressure. These pressure differences lead to the movement of air, resulting in wind patterns. The Earth's rotation also influences these wind patterns through the Coriolis effect.
