Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices except B are related to coastal protection or erosion control. Groin, seawall, and breakwater are all structures used to reduce the impacts of waves and currents on coastal areas. Beach nourishment, on the other hand, is a type of coastal restoration, where sediment is added to eroded beaches to restore their width and elevation. Therefore, B does not fit the pattern.
