Which coastline change occurs when wave refraction concentrates energy unevenly?

💡 Explanation

Sea stacks appear because differential erosion occurs due to varying wave energy concentration; this is controlled by wave refraction. This wave refraction causes focused erosion rather than even deposition or stabilized islands. Longshore drift continues, therefore does not halt as suggested.
