During a wind -strom, when high speed winds blow over the tin roofs of houses, the tin roofs get lifted and blown away. This happen because:
a. High speed winds reduce air pressure over the tin roofs
b.High speed winds increase air pressure over the tin roofs
c.High speed winds do not change air pressure over the tin roofs
d.Higher air pressure acts from below the tin roofs
A and B
B and C
A and D
Only D
