Solution

The correct option is D Sea to land
During the summer, due to the high temperatures, low pressure develops over land and high pressure develops over the sea. So whenever this pressure difference is created, air starts moving from a region of higher pressure to a region of low pressure. So the direction of wind will be from sea to land and the opposite happens during winters.
