B) Coastal locations have cooler summers and warmer winters.

Reason: Oceans have high heat capacity and moderate temperature changes. Water warms and cools more slowly than land, so coastal areas experience smaller seasonal temperature ranges — cooler in summer and milder (warmer) in winter — compared with inland locations at the same latitude.
