Answer 1

The correct statement is:

"The air moves toward the water because the land cools off faster than the water does."

In this scenario, during the evening, the land loses heat more quickly than the water, creating a pressure difference. As a result, the cooler, denser air over the land moves toward the warmer, less dense air over the water, creating a breeze from land to sea.
