The country described in the sentence, where prevailing winds move from west to east and air currents tend toward the left, is likely located in the Northern Hemisphere. This is because the Coriolis effect causes moving air to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, making the air currents move toward the left.

Given the options, the correct answer is:

B. between 30 degrees north and 60 degrees north latitude.
