A breaking wave is one whose base can no longer support its top, causing it to collapse. A wave breaks when it runs into shallow water because the base of the wave is slowing down, causing the top to "break".

If I'm not mistaken, it's because of both A and B. The water on top is rushing to the beach while an undercurrent is going out to the sea. Basically the top water is having it's legs taken out from under it.
If the answer is only one of the choices, because of the undercurrent, I'd have to go with A; but that seems so incomplete.
