The answer is; A

During a hot day, the land heats up faster than the waters. The air on land becomes warm and less dense fast and begin to rise in the atmosphere. The air on the ocean with is still cooler and denser moves in to replace the rising on land air. This causes a sea breeze. The sea breeze carries with it, moisture. The hotter the day the higher the humidity. When the air goes inland, it causes precipitation when it rises, cool, and condenses.
