Which outcome reduces sand supply to beaches due to offshore breakwater construction?

A)Increased downdrift erosion rates
B)Sediment accretion seaward increases
C)Updrift wave energy amplification
D)Reduced turbidity plume formation

💡 Explanation

Increased downdrift erosion results because interruption of longshore drift prevents sediment replenishment; therefore, beaches erode further rather than accreting sediment, involving longshore transport limitations instead of wave dynamics variations.
