Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seawalls are vertical structures built parallel to the shore and are designed to protect homes, bluffs, or cliffs from erosion caused by wave action. Jetties are structures built at the entrance of a harbor or river to protect the area from wave energy, while breakwaters are offshore structures designed to protect a harbor or beach from waves. Beach nourishment involves adding sand to a beach that has been eroded, and groins are structures built perpendicular to the shore to trap sand and prevent erosion. Therefore, the correct answer is C, seawalls.
