If differences in air pressure produce winds, what can you conclude about temperature and air pressure based on the figure?

As warm air rises, it creates an area of lower pressure, and cooler air flows in as wind
Warm air is denser than cold air is, creating an area of high pressure the produces wind.
Winds flow from areas of low pressure to areas high pressure when temperature is warmer
Air pressure decreases at night because temperature is lower, producing land and sea breezes

The main reason that we have currents in the ocean and air is

the sun heats the air and ocean evenly everywhere
the heat inside the earth heats the ocean and the ocean heats the air
the sun cannot heat both the air and water, so one must heat the other
the sun heats air and water more at the equator because it receives more direct sunlight
