Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
Land heats and cools more rapidly than the sea. During the day the land gets heated and the air over the land being hotter and lighter than that over the sea, a low-pressure area is created over the land.
The hot air rises and cool air from the sea reach the land, which is referred to as a sea breeze. At night the land rapidly loses its heat faster than the sea. The air over the sea is, therefore, warmer and lighter than over the land and a breeze blows but from the land towards the sea.
