The wind is described as geostrophic when:

a the pressure gradient force balances the centripetal force.
b winds blow in a straight line parallel to contour lines on a weather map
c the pressure gradient and coriolis forces act on the air in the same direction.
d winds blow under the influence of only the pressure gradient force.
