Why is temperature extremity generally lower in coastal cities?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The sea heats and cools slowly and moderates temperature

Coastal places usually have a smaller annual and daily temperature range because water changes temperature slowly. The sea absorbs and stores heat during warmer periods and releases heat gradually when the air becomes cooler. This moderating influence reduces very high temperatures in hot periods and very low temperatures in cool periods. It does not stop sunlight, remove the atmosphere, or prevent weather changes.

The correct choice is B. Land heats and cools comparatively quickly, while the nearby sea changes more slowly. Winds and exchanges of air help carry this moderating influence toward coastal cities. Therefore such places generally have an equable climate, with less extreme temperature differences than inland areas. The statement does not mean coastal weather is always identical; it only describes a general tendency.
