Which consequence results when eolian transport bypasses a small upwind island?

A)Increased erosion on the leeward side
B)Stabilization of existing dune formation
C)Higher sedimentation around offshore reefs
D)Decreased longshore drift sediment supply

💡 Explanation

Reduced upwind sediment capture causes decreased sediment supply to the receiving coast via longshore drift, because reduced eolian transport directly lowers material available for transport; therefore, sediment starvation causes coastal recession on downdraft shores rather than dune growth.
