Cyclones tend to move _______________.

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Cyclones tend to move parallel to the isobars in their warm sectors. Cyclones, which are large-scale circulating weather systems, typically move parallel to the isobars (lines of equal atmospheric pressure) in their warm sectors. This is because the flow of air in the warm sector of a cyclone is generally parallel to the isobars, which helps drive the cyclone's movement. In contrast, the other answer choices do not accurately describe the typical movement of cyclones.
