Which outcome regarding air masses results because of the Coriolis effect?

A)Deflection to right in hemisphere
B)Direct movement to cooler regions
C)Air masses move directly poles

Air masses deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere because of the apparent Coriolis effect that results from Earth's rotation; therefore air circulation patterns shift, rather than moving directly north or south.
