Which outcome results when consistent unidirectional winds impact deposition off barrier islands?

A)Increased asymmetric island erosion
B)Uniform fine sediment sorting
C)Mitigated offshore storm wave influence
D)Decreased salt marsh habitat viability

💡 Explanation

Increased asymmetric island erosion results because 'longshore drift' transports sediment along the coast, and unidirectional winds enhance this, creating uneven sediment deposition; therefore the windward side erodes more than the leeward, rather than uniform effects from multidirectional flows.
