How are deposits redistributed in a wave-dominated delta?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Waves spread mouth deposits parallel to the coast
In a wave-dominated delta, wave approach and longshore currents transport sediment away from the river mouth and redistribute it along the shoreline. This smooths or rounds the delta front and can build beach ridges or shore-parallel bars rather than leaving a strongly protruding distributary pattern. Hence A is correct. The other choices refer to glacial, aeolian, or incorrect groundwater processes.
