Which outcome occurs during sediment starvation within a littoral cell?

💡 Explanation

Increased erosion occurs via longshore transport because there isn't sediment replenishment upstream, therefore the lack of sediment causes increased erosion down-drift rather than stability, because drift transports what little sediment exists away.
