What wind reverses directions seasonally?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Monsoon winds.
Monsoon winds are seasonal wind systems that reverse direction between summer and winter. In the summer, monsoon winds typically blow from the southwest, bringing warm, moist air. In the winter, the winds reverse direction and blow from the northeast, bringing cooler and drier air. This seasonal reversal in wind direction is a defining characteristic of monsoon wind systems.
The other options are incorrect because they do not exhibit this seasonal reversal in wind direction. The jet stream, secondary winds, and trade winds do not typically reverse direction seasonally in the same way as monsoon winds.
