Solution

The correct option is C Both statements are true and statement 2 is the correct explanation for statement 1.
The Atlantic ocean keeps the Western Europe warmer than the Eastern one. Winds blow all year around from the Atlantic Ocean towards Europe. As these winds come from the Southwest, we call them the Westerlies. These winds are warmer than the land temperature. Hence, during the winter, they make the temperature of Western Europe warmer as compared to Eastern region.
