Option 2 : 2 only

The correct answer is 2 only.

Westerlies are permanent winds.
Westerlies are prevailing winds that flow from the west towards the East.
It flows between 30°N-60°N and 30°S-60°S degrees latitude. Hence statement 1 is NOT correct.
It is also known as anti trades winds as it originates from the high-pressure area Horse latitude and flows towards the subpolar low-pressure area.
The blows from South West to North East in the Northern hemisphere and from North west to the south east in the southern hemisphere.
The westerlies are stronger in the Southern hemisphere due to the vast ocean and comparatively less land.
They are best observed between 40 to 60-degree latitude and these latitudes are also known as Roaring forties, Furious fifties, and shrieking sixties.
There are fluctuations in the subpolar region. Thus, they produce wet spells due to variation in weather.

The moist air masses that cause winter rains in the North-Western region of India part of Western disturbances that originate from the Mediterranean sea. Hence statement 2 is correct.
