Solution
The correct option is B Land breeze The air molecules are held by strong inter molecular forces. During, the daytime when the air above the land gets heated up, the air molecules absorbs the heat and the intermolecular forces between the air molecules become weak and its kinetic energy increases. The air molecules move apart and become less dense, lighter and rise up. This creates a low-pressure zone on land and thus cold air from the sea rushes to land and thus creates sea breeze.
