Sunlight hits different locations on Earth with varying intensity. How does this

A. At the equator, insolation is less intense, so the air is warmer and
rises.
B. At the equator, insolation is more intense, so the air is warmer and
rises.
C. At the equator, insolation is less intense, so the air is warmer and
sinks.
D. At the equator, insolation is more intense, so the air is warmer and
