At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

The size of oceanic waves is a function of the velocity of the wind and of fetch, the length of the surface of the water subject to those winds. The impact of waves against a coastline is a function of the size of the waves and the shape of the sea bottom. The degree of erosion to which a coastline is subject is a function of the average impact of waves and the geologic composition of the coastline.
If these statements are true, which one of the following must also be true?
(A) The degree of erosion to which a coastline is subject is related to the shape of the sea bottom.
(B) The size of oceanic waves will not fluctuate far from an average for any given stretch of ocean.
(C) The fetch of winds is related to the shape of the sea bottom.
(D) The size of oceanic waves is related to the shape of the sea bottom.
(E) The average velocity of the wind in an area plays no role in the degree of erosion to which a coastline is subject.

(A) The degree of erosion to which a coastline is subject is related to the shape of the sea bottom.
Given in the passage, the degree of erosion is influenced by the average impact of waves, which in turn is influenced by the shape of the sea bottom. Therefore, there is an indirect relationship between the degree of erosion and the shape of the sea bottom.

It is A,
The size of oceanic waves (which depends on wind velocity and fetch) affects the impact of waves. The impact of waves (which depends on wave size and sea bottom shape) affects the degree of erosion. Therefore, the degree of erosion is influenced by wave impact and geological composition. "The degree of erosion to which a coastline is subject is related to the shape of the sea bottom."
