What does the term 'Accrete' refer to?

  1. The depreciation calculation for actual cash value.

  2. The accreditation process for levees by FEMA.

  3. Buildup of shoreline by depositing sand, naturally or artificially.

  4. Designation for temporary flood protection zones.

The correct answer is: Buildup of shoreline by depositing sand, naturally or artificially.

Accrete refers to the natural or artificial buildup of shoreline by depositing sand. A is incorrect because depreciation calculation for actual cash value is a different term. B is incorrect because accreditation process for levees by FEMA is also a different term. D is incorrect because designation for temporary flood protection zones is not related to shoreline buildup.
