What is the primary geomorphic consequence of wave refraction along an irregular, indented coastline?

Options:

  • A: Wave energy is concentrated in bays, leading to rapid erosion, while headlands experience deposition.
  • B: Waves become perfectly parallel to the deep ocean trenches, preventing any coastal erosion.
  • C: It leads to the uniform deposition of sand along the entire coastline, eliminating headlands.
  • D: Wave energy is concentrated on headlands, leading to erosion, while wave energy is dispersed in bays, leading to deposition.
