Answer:

B.convection current

Step-by-step explanation:

Convection current causes the movement of air between the land and ocean.

Convection is a form of heat transfer prominent in fluids, liquids and gases.

In this case, temperature and density differences plays very vital roles in moving heat.

  • The surface is a good conductor of heat and the air around it heats up.
  • This makes the is air less dense and it rises.
  • The air above is colder and denser and it replaces the rising warm air.
  • The continuous cyclic exchange sets up convection currents.
