Answer:

The actual answer is C)

Explanation:

High waves cause a beach to change shape. When high waves come on the beach, they carry a lot of energy. The sand washing away with the wave helps absorb some of the energy. The sand falls to the bottom of the ocean. It helps to raise the ocean floor. This flattens the shape of the beach. Waves then break farther off shore. This prevents further erosion.
