The sea breeze effect happens because:
a. there’s nothing to block wind on the open ocean
b. the land heats up faster than the ocean
c. the ocean cools faster than the land
d. when the wind reaches land, it may be blocked by tall buildings or mountains

The land and the ocean undergoes heating due to the increasing amount of solar radiation. The land gets heated faster in comparison to the ocean. It is because the water in the ocean can reflect some amount of light whereas the land area cannot, so it absorbs heat. Due to this absorption of heat, the air becomes light and gets lifted up to the atmosphere and creates a region of low pressure. Therefore, it creates a temperature difference, as a result of which there occurs the sea breeze.

Sea breeze occurs in the day time during summer and carries the cool air into that low-pressure region and balances it.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
