Which outcome results when rising sea levels overwhelm barrier island sediment transport?

A)Increased estuarine salinity intrusion
B)Accelerated thermohaline circulation slowdown
C)Enhanced offshore nutrient upwelling
D)Decreased coastal fog frequency

💡 Explanation

Increased estuarine salinity intrusion occurs because island overwash and breaching cause landward transport of saltwater via tidal inlet migration, creating brackish conditions rather than only freshwater influence; therefore, salinity alteration occurs, rather than other atmospheric/oceanic changes.
