Solution(By Examveda Team)

The winds blowing throughout the year from one latitude to another in response to latitudinal differences in air pressure are called “planetary or prevailing winds”. The westerlies, anti-trades or prevailing westerlies, are prevailing winds from the west toward the east in the middle latitudes between 30° and 60° latitude.
