Which morphological effect results when coastal cliffs composed of chalk erode due to wave action?

A)Isolated sea stacks formation
B)Increased beach sand deposition
C)Stabilization of headland structures
D)Expansion of submerged coral reefs

💡 Explanation

Isolated sea stacks formation occurs because differential erosion weakens cliff sections selectively due to hydraulic action, eventually collapsing weaker rock layers and leaving resistant columns; therefore sea stacks appear, rather than headland stabilization, because cliff retreat dominates.
