During the summer, cool coastal breezes blow from the ocean toward the land during the day, and they blow from the land toward the ocean during the night. This shift in wind direction is due to temperature differences in the air over the land and the ocean. What specific role does the ocean play in this process?

AThe ocean retains more heat, which causes the temperature of the air above it to change drastically between day and night.

BThe ocean retains more heat, which stabilizes the temperature of the air above it.

CThe ocean retains less heat, which causes the temperature of the air above it to change drastically between day and night.

DThe ocean retains less heat, which stabilizes the temperature of the air above it.
