Solution

The correct option is A Sea walls
Different structures can be built along the coast to protect against coastal erosion. Sea walls are the vertical concrete structures that protect against erosion and flooding. Apart from constructing structures, restricting sand mining along the coasts and planting trees to stabilise the beaches are other effective ways to combat coastal erosion.
