Solution

The correct option is B stacks
Sea waves thrash the sea arches. Over time, the roof of the arch keeps getting eroded by the thrashing of the waves. The roof of the arch becomes weaker due to weathering and erosion. Many years later, the arch’s roof crumbles and falls down. The remaining part is a landform with wall-like features called a stack.
