Answer 1

The correct option is B 1. headland; 2. sea cave; 3. sea arch; 4. sea stack

Solution: Option B

Explanation:

• A headland is a narrow piece of land which sticks out from the coast into the sea.
• Waves hit weak areas of the rocks along the coast, developing cracks​. When cracks widen, sea caves are formed​.
• When caves are eroded all the way through, sea arches are formed​.
• When the weak arch collapses, a sea stack is formed.
