Which outcome develops a tombolo formation connecting island?

💡 Explanation

Wave diffraction concentrates wave energy behind the island, promoting sediment deposition through wave refraction; because sediment accumulates in the sheltered area, this links the island to the mainland via sediment transport, therefore forming a tombolo, rather than erosion or other isostatic rebound.
