Explanation

Solution

Specific heat capacity is the heat capacity of the substance per unit mass.Due to high specific heat capacity of water, it takes larger time to raise its temperature as compared with land. This same thing also happens while cooling. This is the reason for the slow cooling of oceans as compared to Land. Oceans play a great role in climate change because of the higher resistance of sudden change in temperature of water.
In coastal regions, due to the temperature difference in temperature of the sea and land, pressure difference occurs. These consequences in flow of winds which are named according to the source from which they are flowing.

Complete answer:
Specific heat is the amount of heat which is required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by unity. Higher the specific heat, more is the resistance offered to change in temperature.
Heat capacity of the substance is the amount of heat which is required to raise the temperature of the substance by one unit.
Oceans play a great role in climate change because of the higher resistance of sudden change in temperature of water.
Because of the higher specific heat of water than soil or land, the ocean and other bodies of water warm as well as cool much slower during daytime than nearby land. The pressure of air is lower in the region of higher temperature and air flows from higher pressure region to lower pressure region. Due to this in coastal regions wind blows from sea to land in daytime known as land breeze. At nights, the reverse happens, that is, wind blows from land to sea and is known as a land breeze.

Therefore, correct option is B.

Note:
Water offers more resistance to change in its temperature as compared to soil or land. This property of water is majorly responsible for climate change. Sea breeze and Land breeze are examples of the effect of specific heat capacity of water in climate change.
