Why can Delhi have greater temperature extremes than Mumbai?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Delhi is far from the sea

Land and water heat and cool at different rates. The sea changes temperature more slowly, so places near it usually experience a moderating influence. Delhi is far inland, so it does not receive the same direct moderating effect of the sea. Its temperature can therefore rise more in hot periods and fall more in cool periods, producing greater annual or seasonal extremes than in coastal Mumbai.

Option A is correct because Delhi’s distance from the sea gives it a stronger continental influence. Mumbai’s coastal location tends to reduce extreme temperature differences, though many other factors also affect actual temperatures. The other choices are clearly unrelated or impossible. The key comparison is inland location versus coastal location.
