Answer: C. Storm surge

Step-by-step explanation:

A storm usually causes coastal erosion. Due to high wind currents, increase in height of oceanic waters along the coast causes erosion of the shoreline.

The storm surge is associated with the coastal erosion. This involves the elevation of the oceanic water which results in the flooding along the coastline and causes major erosion. The elevated water height is above the normal range of tides.
