Explanation:

1. The Moon has a greater influence on tides than the Sun despite the Sun's larger mass because it is much closer to the Earth. So, disagree.
2. Winds blowing over the water's surface generate waves. So, agree.
3. Ocean - currents are mainly caused by factors like wind, differences in water density, and the Coriolis effect, not by waves. So, disagree.
4. While waves can affect sea - stars, it is not accurate to say that the action of waves causes many sea - stars to perish. So, disagree.
5. Shoreline organisms have evolved various adaptations to survive in the dynamic environment of ocean shores. So, agree.
