Select the best answer for the question. What is/are one source of sediment along shorelines and on the seafloor?
A. Transport of tidal waves and currents
B. Underwater volcanic eruptions
C. Marine organisms
D. Seafloor mining

The primary source of sediment along shorelines and the seafloor is the transport of tidal waves and currents, which carry and redistribute sediment materials. Other contributors include underwater volcanic eruptions and marine organisms, but they are not as significant in this context. Seafloor mining mainly removes sediment rather than creates it. ;

The best answer is A: Transport of tidal waves and currents, which is a significant source of sediment along shorelines and the seafloor. This process involves the movement and redistribution of sediments due to ocean waves and currents. While other options like marine organisms and volcanic eruptions contribute to sediment, they are not as effective in generating and moving sediment as tidal forces are.
