Solution

The correct option is D Lagoon
Sometimes spits get extended further when more eroded material gets deposited. This extension continues until it joins the mainland. This elongated deposit of sand almost parallel to the shore is called a bar, and water that is enclosed within the sand bar and the mainland forms a lagoon.
