The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Phenomenon**: The land breeze phenomenon occurs at night when the temperature of the land and sea changes. 2. **Cooling of Land and Sea**: During the night, both land and sea cool down, but they do so at different rates. The land cools down faster than the sea. 3. **Temperature Comparison**: As a result of the different cooling rates, the air above the land becomes cooler than the air above the sea. The air above the sea remains warmer. 4. **Direction of Wind**: Since the air over the sea is warmer, it creates a low-pressure area. The cooler, denser air over the land moves towards the sea, resulting in a wind that blows from the land to the sea. This is known as a land breeze. 5. **Correct Statement**: The correct statement regarding the land breeze is that it occurs at night, and the wind direction is from land to sea.
