Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. water cools slower than land.
In the coastal area, wind blows from the sea towards the land during the day; but during the night it moves from land to the sea. Because during the day time the air above the land gets heated up quickly and it starts to rise, which results in a region of low pressure and that's why air over sea rushes into this area of low pressure. This movement of air from one region to the other creates winds. During the night, as the water cools down slowly, the air above the water is warmer than the air on land. So air moves from land to sea creating winds.
