I think the answer is B) waves can cause objects to move

Evangeline Burns · Answer 2

B) Waves can cause objects to move.

Explanation:

This is the statement that is supported by the information in the passage. In this passage, we learn that the surfer swims out from the shore, but that when he hops onto his board, he is soon back at the shore with the board. The only explanation is that the wave caused him to move towards the shore. Moreover, the passage states nothing about floating, air, or the direction of several waves.
