Answer: toward the land

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the direction that the wind will most likely blow during the day is towards the land.

As the hot air rises, it should be noted that the low pressure region will be created at the surface and this will bring about the direction of the wind will then be to the land from the sea during the day.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
