Answer 2

The correct answer is option a. "Much more sand piled up on the beach".

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though for occasional visitors it might seem that beach sand does not move, there is a constant flow of sand between the land and the ocean. Typically, you will see much more sand piled up on the beach after winter has ended. During winter there is much less sand on the beach because winter storms produce high energy waves that pull sand offshore. Once winter has over, the gentle waves of summer carry sand back on to the beach.
