In the Northern Hemisphere, the wind circulation around a high pressure center is clockwise and moving outward from the high pressure system. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes moving air masses to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.
The other options are incorrect because in the Northern Hemisphere, the wind circulation is not counterclockwise (B and C), and it does not move towards the high pressure center (A and C).
