The correct answer is D. The land warms faster that the ocean.

Explanation

According to the statement the heat capacity of the sea is greater than that of the land, this means the sea needs more heat to increase its temperature in comparison to the land and therefore when the sun shines on a coastal town the land warms or increases its temperature faster than the sea, because the sea has a greater heat capacity.
