The High Specific Heat of Water Means That Land Masses

The high specific heat of water means that land masses near the equator are:

A) warmer than predicted because of all the heat in the water being released into the air.
B) cooler than predicted because of all the heat carried by ocean waters from low to high latitudes.
C) the same temperature regardless of the presence of water because it is only the amount of solar radiation on the land mass that affects temperature.
