Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Jet streams.
The winds that blow across the Asian continent at latitudes north of the Himalayas, roughly parallel to the Tibetan highlands, are known as jet streams. Jet streams are fast-flowing air currents in the upper atmosphere, typically found at altitudes of about 10 kilometers (6 miles). They flow from west to east and influence weather patterns and climate conditions by affecting the movement of weather systems across the continent.
