Which risk significantly increases when a newly constructed coastal breakwater interrupts longshore drift?

A)Upstream erosion acceleration increases sharply
B)Local albedo percentage suffers reduction
C)Salinity equilibrium concentrations destabilize rapidly
D)Marine methane clathrate release accelerates quickly

💡 Explanation

Interrupting longshore drift causes sediment deposition upstream and sediment starvation downstream. Accelerated upstream erosion increases drastically because wave's sediments cannot replenish beaches, therefore creating higher water energy; rather than other listed nonexistent alternatives.
