Answer:

The correct answer is D) Rainfall and Ocean waves.

Explanation:

The diagram indicated is a perfect example of coastal erosion.

Coastal erosion happens when land is lost or displaced. This can be short-term or long-term and may involve the elimination of sediment and rocks along the coastline resulting from the action of waves, currents, tides, wind-driven water, waterborne ice, or other impacts of storms.

The four main stages of coastal erosion are corrosion, abrasion, hydraulic action, and attrition.

The United States for instance experiences a lot of coastal erosion in all its regions. More specifically, barrier islands in the southeast and the Great Lakes record 25 feet and 50 feet recession rates respectively.
