Which one of the following statements with regard to Jet stream, an upper level tropospheric wave, is not correct?

A It is narrow band of high-velocity wind.
B It\ \follows\ \the\ \wave\ \path\ \near\ \the tropopause at elevations of 8 km to 15 km.
C Jet\ streams\ are typically\ continuous over long distances.
D In summer, the polar front jet achieves its maximum force.

Correct Answer: It\ \follows\ \the\ \wave\ \path\ \near\ \the tropopause at elevations of 8 km to 15 km.

All  are  correct  except  D,  as  Jet streams  are  phenomena  of  winter. It   is   believed   that   jet   stream exercises  an  important  influence on the winter weather in India.
