Answer:

A. Backwash is stronger than swash

Step-by-step explanation:

"Destructive waves" are usually found in more exposed bays. They build "pebble beaches". Although a destructive wave’s swash is much stronger than that of a constructive wave. But the "swash" of destructive waves is weaker than the "backwash". This means that these waves can transport beach material back into the sea. Hence in the winters, the heights of the beaches are comparatively lower. These waves destroy the beaches. They usually have high waves, but short wavelength and are very frequent.
