Discussion
Which imbalance drives the general circulation?
Answer: A
The tropics absorb more solar radiation than they emit as infrared, while the polar regions emit more than they absorb, and the atmosphere and ocean together transport the difference poleward. That transport requirement is what the general circulation exists to satisfy. Rotation shapes the resulting circulation profoundly but supplies no energy, and the land-sea distribution modifies the pattern regionally without creating the fundamental imbalance that drives the whole system.
