Solution

The correct option is D Night
Seawater takes more time to cool as compared to the land. So, the air over the sea is hotter than it over the land at night. Hot air starts rising, and cool air rushes to occupy the space. The wind, therefore, flows towards the sea. Since the balloon is drifting towards the sea, we can say that it happened during the night.
