A

To determine the direction of the force acting on the wings moving horizontally in air, we can apply Bernoulli's principle and the concept of lift generation.
1. The wings are shaped as airfoils, which means they have a curved upper surface and a flatter lower surface.
2. As the wing moves through the air, the airflow speeds up over the curved upper surface and slows down beneath the flatter lower surface.
3. According to Bernoulli's principle, the increase in airspeed over the top surface leads to a decrease in pressure above the wing compared to the pressure under the wing.
4. This pressure difference creates an upward lift force.
5. Analyzing the provided figures, it is evident that the profile in Option A has a significant curvature on top and is likely angled appropriately to generate enough lift.
Therefore, the correct option where the force is upwards is A.
