Option 1 states that the correct mapping between the local winds and their respective areas is A-2 (Chinook - Rocky mountain), B-3 (Foehn - Northern slopes of Alps), C-1 (Sirocco - North African desert), and D-4 (Mistral - Southern slopes of Alps).

A Chinook is a warm and dry wind that occurs on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in North America. It is responsible for raising the temperature rapidly.

A Foehn wind is a warm and dry wind that occurs on the northern slopes of the Alps in Europe. It occurs when moist air rises over the mountains and cools, then descends and warms on the leeward side.

A Sirocco wind is a hot and dry wind that occurs in the North African desert. It is known for carrying dust and sand particles over long distances.

A Mistral wind is a cold and dry wind that occurs on the southern slopes of the Alps. It is most common in the winter months and can cause rapid temperature drops.

Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer as it accurately matches the local winds with their respective areas.
