C. Cool air from the shore will travel to the sea.
Explanation: at night the land cools faster than the sea, so air over the land becomes cooler and denser (high pressure) while warmer air over the sea rises (low pressure). Air flows from high to low pressure, so cool shore air moves out over the sea.
