Met Question

Hello everyone,

One met question I am struggling to understand....

The surface wind at an inland airfield at night is 240/05

What would the surface wind be at 2000ft above the airfield?

A 270/10
B 270/20
C 210/05
D 210/ 10

I realise that the answer is B but why does surface wind act differently during the day than at night ? Day theory would suggest answer A but infact the correct answer is B.

Thanks in advance
