Areas along the west coast of California cooler then you would expect for their latitude because a cold ocean current travels along the coast.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The west coat of California gets a cold current that is carried from the polar regions to this region. The cold currents make the air cooler and lower the temperature. This is why west coast of California is cooler when compared with the latitude and also colder than the east coast.

On the eastern coast, a warm current keeps the temperature warmer. The cold current brings very cold air because it flows from the polar regions and therefore keep the temperature low.
