Answer 2

Correct answer choice is:

d.  Erosion caused by hurricanes can leave coasts more exposed to storms.

Explanation:

Important erosion, rapture, and removal of solids happen through storms. Beach erosion is a typical consequence of the high waves that transpire when hurricanes pass onto land. The decline of sand makes the beach to grow narrower and deeper in elevation. Storm loops take the sand offshore, keeping and depositing the sediment in great sandbars.
