Solution
The correct option is B Black Sea
The last theory given by the author seems attractive because it gives some hope of explaining the enclosed seas. These seas have a typical oceanic floor, except that the floor is overlaid by several kilometers of sediment. Their floors have probably been sinking for long periods. It seems possible that a sinking current of cooled mantle material on the upper side of the plate might be the cause of such deep basins. Going by the last theory, the deepest sediments would be found in the Black Sea thus making answer option (b) the correct answer choice. Among the answer options, only Black Sea has been mentioned by the author in the last paragraph wherein he discusses about deepest sediments and hence we can straight away go for option (b).
