Which feature develops due to refraction-induced longshore drift?

A)Spit formation along a coastline
B)Increased river delta sedimentation
C)Accelerated glacial ice calving
D)Decreased offshore wind velocities

💡 Explanation

Spit formation occurs because wave refraction concentrates energy unevenly, causing sediment transport via longshore drift to deposit material where the coastline changes direction; therefore, spits form downcurrent, rather than increased river sedimentation, which is affected by riverine processes.
