A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Yes, the currents on the eastern sides of the continents tend to be warmer than the currents on the western sides due to the effect of the prevailing winds on the flow of warm surface water.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ocean warms and cools more slowly than the atmosphere, thus coastal weather tends to be more moderate than continental weather, with fewer hot and cold extremes. Evaporation from the ocean, especially in the tropics, creates most rain clouds, influencing the location of wet and dry zones on land.

Detailed explanation-3: -As such, sand gets heated or cooled more rapidly as compared to water under the similar conditions. Thus a large difference in temperature is developed between the land and the sea due to which land and sea breezes are formed. These breezes make the climate near the sea shore moderate.
