The correct response is:

Cool air warms as it sinks and the wind blows outward.

In high-pressure systems, cool air descends, leading to an increase in pressure at the surface. As this cool air sinks, it warms, causing the air to spread out and result in winds blowing outward from the high-pressure center.
