Solution

The correct option is B Ultrasonic waves
The depth of an ocean is estimated by a device , called SONAR , which sends ultrasonic waves towards the bottom of ocean , and after reflection, waves come back to the sonar. The time is recorded between the emitting and the receiving waves and having the speed of waves in water , we get the depth of ocean .
