C. The difference in specific heat capacity between land and water
Explanation:
Land breeze is product of the specific capacity differences between the land and water.
Water has a very high specific heat capacity. It takes a longer time to warm up and lose heat. Land absorbs and loses heat faster.
Due to this, the air around water at night is very warm because the water does not lose heat readily.
The land loses heat faster and the air around it is cold. Cold air is dense.
By convection current, the warm air from the ocean blows landward and the cool air on land replaces them thereby setting up convection current and thus land breeze.
During the day, the reverse is the case. The land is warmer and the air around it is warm too. It moves seaward to replace the cold air on the water and sea breeze is set up.
