Which erosion pattern emerges after halting longshore drift?

A)Down-drift beach starvation commences immediately
B)Up-drift sediment accumulation slows gradually
C)Offshore bar formation accelerates steadily
D)Wave refraction diminishes drastically offshore

💡 Explanation

Down-drift beach starvation occurs because interruption of sediment transport causes sediment imbalance due to sediment deficits, rather than immediate up-drift accumulation; it's sediment deficit, therefore impacts down-drift rather than other changes upstream.
