Answer 1

The correct response is: Cool air warms as it sinks and the wind blows outward.

In high-pressure systems, the air is generally descending, which leads to cooling of the air. As it sinks, the air warms due to compression, and this process causes the air to spread out, resulting in outward blowing winds.
