Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Proximity to a coast is critical, but prevailing onshore winds increase the influence of marine air masses. In the midlatitudes where marine west coast climates occur, the prevailing winds blow from the west, bringing them onshore along western coasts.
