Breaking waves transfer energy to the shore/land.

Breaking waves occur when the water depth becomes shallower than the wave base, causing the wave to slow down and the wave height to increase. This increase in wave height results in the transfer of energy from the wave to the shore/land. As the wave breaks, it can also cause erosion and transport sediment along the shoreline.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) energy.
