For purposes of comparison, there is a fairly consistent pressure drop in the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere). In areas underneath a gentle horizontal pressure gradient, where there is little change in the air pressure, the weather is generally calm and stable, with little wind or very light winds. Wind is created by the movement of air parcels from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure. a) all of the responses are correct.
