The correct statement about how air typically moves is:

Air moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas.

This is a fundamental principle of atmospheric science. Air tends to flow from regions of high pressure, where the air is denser, to regions of low pressure, where the air is less dense, creating winds and weather patterns. The other statements are either incorrect or less accurate in the context of general air movement.
