Answer 1

The correct option is D It is difficult for the sun to heat up or cool down the sea.

It’s difficult for the sun to heat up or cool down the sea. Since the sea doesn’t get too hot or cold, the air above the sea also doesn’t get too hot or cold. Therefore places near the sea usually have temperatures that remain fairly constant throughout the year. They have what is known as a moderate climate.
