horizontal convergence refer to inflow (convergence) or outflow (divergence).

hope this help

Answer:

Correct answer is option C (The net inward movement of air in a surface low-pressure system that causes the air mass to shrink is called horizontal convergence)

Explanation:

Air moves in different direction with different velocities. It can move in one direction with different velocities or it can move in different direction with same velocity. Due to these irregularities in velocities and direction sometimes, in some regions air get collected and in some region it get spread.

The net inward movement of air in a surface low-pressure system that causes the air mass to shrink is called horizontal convergence. Horizontal convergence is caused by air moving with less velocity in forward direction in comparison to air which is moving behind it.
