EXPLANATION
Global Atmospheric Circulation
- Global Latitudinal Zonation:
- Doldrums / Equator: $0^\circ$ to $5^\circ\text{ N/S}$ (Equatorial low pressure trough).
- Trade Winds: $5^\circ$ to $30^\circ\text{ N/S}$.
- Horse Latitudes: Subtropical high-pressure belts located between $30^\circ$ and $35^\circ\text{ N/S}$.
- Roaring Forties: Strong westerly winds in the Southern Hemisphere located between $40^\circ$ and $50^\circ\text{ S}$.
- Ascending Order of Latitudes: Arranging these zones by increasing numerical latitude values gives Horse latitudes ($30^\circ-35^\circ$) followed by Roaring Forties ($40^\circ-50^\circ$).
- Conclusion: Option 3 represents the correct sequence.
Correct option: (3) (B), (A), (D), (C)
