Hi,

Answer: A. At night

My work: Land breezes can sometimes be confused with sea breezes, but the difference is that Land breezes happen overnight while sea breezes happen over hot summer days. They are also alike because a sea breeze is what makes a land breeze because it is a breeze that travels over sea onto land during the night, but also carrying the warmth of the sea breeze.

I Hoped I Helped!

A. At night is your answer

Land breezes will occur during the night, as the temperature difference between the sea and land is fairly the same, which means that heat would escape out of the water faster instead of the land (as the water stores most of the heat from the day-time)

hope this helps
