c. decreases the present but increases the future risk
Sea walls give immediate protection against waves and storm surge (reducing current risk) but over time they can accelerate beach erosion, cause scouring, transfer impacts to adjacent shores, and encourage development in hazardous zones — all of which raise future risk.
