Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

During the day when water is cooler than the land, the wind blows off the water onto the land (as warm air rises and cooler air fills the place). Also at night, the effect is reversed (since the water is usually warmer than the surrounding air on land). Due to this wind flow, the temperature near the sea coast remains moderate.
