A. A steep pressure gradient and high winds.
On a weather map, isobars are lines connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure. When isobars are placed close together, it indicates a steep pressure gradient, meaning there is a rapid change in pressure over a short distance. This, in turn, implies strong winds.
