Solution

The correct option is C It is a breeze flowing from the sea to the land during daytime.
During daytime, the land gets heated up faster than the sea which results in the air rising up from the land. A low pressure region is created on the land. The cold air from the sea flows towards the land to occupy this low pressure region. This cold breeze (wind) is referred as 'Sea breeze'.
