Solution

The correct option is B Land breeze
The breeze that blows from the land toward the sea after sunset is called land breeze.
The land cools more quickly than the ocean, cooling the air above it. The warmer air above the water continues to rise, and cooler air from over the land replaces it, creating a breeze.
