Which outcome occurs when wave approach angles repeatedly change along a beach with groynes?

A)Groyne field sediment redistribution
B)Amplified erosion offshore rip currents
C)Uniform longshore equilibrium profile
D)Reduced landward barrier island retreat

💡 Explanation

Altering approach angles redistribute sediment because *longshore drift* changes direction often, leading to sediment build up on one side of some groynes. Therefore, redistributions within each groyne compartment occur, rather than a uniform sediment profile.
