Which outcome occurs from enhanced overwash events eroding a barrier island's dune system?

💡 Explanation

Landward migration of the barrier island results from dune erosion and sediment transport by overwash; this is barrier island transgression because sediment accumulation occurs on the bay side, therefore its shoreline moves inland rather than remaining stable.
