Which outcome commonly occurs when nearshore seabed leveling reduces wave _refraction_ around a pre-existing sea stack?

💡 Explanation

Increased direct wave impact at the stack's base occurs because seabed leveling reduces wave _refraction_, therefore focusing wave energy; increased wave energy erodes the base more readily, rather than favoring deposition at the coast.
