Marine terraces in California is formed along numerous parts of the California coast by wave action and raised above sea level by mountain building.

Option A, C, and D

Explanation:

By continuous process of sedimentation in both the sides of coast, marine terraces are formed. Marine means features related to sea wave's action and terrace means step like formation in the coast. Marine terraces are the evidence of gradual rise and fall of sea level through time.

Rising and submerging process along the coastline is mainly responsible for the formation of terrace. Accumulation of younger sediments carried by waves on the older alluvium forms terrace like feature along coast. Tectonic coastal upliftment and sea level rising creates marine terraces.
