Sea stack- A stack or sea stack is a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast, formed by wave erosion. Stacks are formed over time by wind and water, processes of coastal geomorphology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(geology) Knowing this, we can probably eliminate some choices, which of these wouldn't make sense to be the cause of the sea stack formation? whichever you choose, we can then see from the remaining options, which ones makes the most sense to be the answer.
