Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

In high-pressure systems, air tends to sink, which leads to the cooling of the air. As the air sinks and becomes denser, it creates high pressure at the surface, causing the wind to flow outward from the high-pressure area.
