Which option correctly identifies the process or feature represented by each label?

$X$ : Direction of longshore drift; $Y$ : Wave-cut platform; $Z$ : Tombolo

$X$ : Direction of longshore drift; $Y$ : Salt marsh; $Z$ : Recurved ridge (hook)

$X$ : Direction of onshore wind; $Y$ : Salt marsh; $Z$ : Tombolo

$X$ : Direction of rip currents; $Y$ : Wave-cut notch; $Z$ : Recurved ridge (hook)
