The answer is; B

Sometimes winds carry the sand of the beaches causing erosion. The fences act as breakers of this wind erosion. As wind tries to carry the sand, they encounter the fence and 'break'. Therefore, the sand is deposited along the fence forming a sand dune. These dunes also form protection from storm surges.
