उत्तर

Westerlies

Explanation:

Primary wind circulation refers to the permanent winds that blow regularly in certain latitudinal zones corresponding to the major pressure belts of the world. These include Trade Winds, Westerlies, and Polar Easterlies. They are also known as planetary winds or prevailing winds. In contrast, winds like Loo, Monsoons, and Cyclones belong to secondary or tertiary circulations, which are seasonal, periodic, or local winds. Hence, among the options, only the Westerlies are part of the primary wind circulation.
