A smaller range of temperature is recorded along the coast than the continental interior on the same latitudes because of the

moderating influence of the sea

higher insolation inland

higher evaporation inland

Correct answer is A

The moderating influence of the sea is the reason why a smaller range of temperature is recorded along the coast than the continental interior on the same latitudes. This is because water has a higher specific heat capacity than land, meaning it can absorb and release heat more slowly than land. This results in cooler summers and warmer winters along the coast, leading to a smaller temperature range.
