The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Winter.

• The trade winds, also known as easterlies, are enduring prevailing winds flowing from east to west across the equatorial region of the Earth.

• Predominantly originating from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere, these winds intensify during winter and when the Arctic oscillation is in its warm phase.
