Answer:

The answer to be filled in the given blank is

option B) low, high

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore, during the daytime, heating of land is faster as compared to water which causes low pressure to form over land and high pressure over coastal areas.

This is because the heat capacity of water is more as compared to land, i.e., water takes longer time to vary its temperature than land. Thus land gets heated faster as compared to water.

Therefore, movement of warm air above the land reduces pressure over land and increases pressure over sea.
