Which process leads to landward barrier island migration where sea stacks exist?

A)Seaward progradation dominates sediment accumulation
B)Longshore transport supplies abundant material
C)Overwash erodes the island's seaward side
D)Tidal inlets stabilize island position

💡 Explanation

Overwash is responsible because wave action carries sediment landward across the barrier via inundation induced Sediment Transport, therefore the barrier island will migrate landward; rather than accreting seaward due to sediment input from other sources.
