The correct response is:
C. The air over the water affects the air and land nearby.
This explanation addresses how the temperature of land near water can differ from that of inland areas due to the moderate and stabilizing effect that bodies of water have on air temperatures. Water heats up and cools down more slowly than land, which influences the climate of adjacent areas.
