Solution

The correct option is A sea arches
Sea arches are formed due to enlargement of the cavities of a sea cave. Over many years, as the waves keep thrashing the sea caves, the cavities in these sea caves become more pronounced. As the thrashing continues, the caves get eroded to a great extent. Only the roofs of the caves remain. Sea caves with just roofs, and openings on both sides are called sea arches.
