B)Subtropical high; subpolar low.
C)Subpolar low; subtropical high.
D)Subpolar high; subtropical high.

The zone between 30° and 60° N latitude includes the subtropical high-pressure zone (around 30° N) and the subpolar low-pressure zone (around 60° N). The winds flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, so the winds between 30° and 60° N latitude flow from the subtropical high-pressure zone toward the subpolar low-pressure zone. Therefore, choice B is the correct pairing of pressure zones.
