Solution
The correct option is B
During day time when the temperature above the land is higher than that above the sea, the air above the land rises because hot air is relatively lighter than cold air. As a result, cold air from the sea blows toward the land to occupy the empty space. This blowing of wind from sea to land is called sea breeze. Sea breeze blows only during daytime.
