Answer:

The correct answer is option c. "Three; global".

Step-by-step explanation:

The atmosphere has six major convection cells because of the Coriolis effect that produces a pattern of deflection in objects not connected to the ground. Three of the six convection cells are created in the northern hemisphere. The global convection, the Earth's rotation along with the convection cells produce the global winds and the patterns that they follow around the world.
