Solution

The correct option is C Deep sea plain
The ocean floors can be divided into following major divisions: the Continental Shelf, the Continental Slope, the Continental Rise, the Deep Sea Plain and the Oceanic Deeps. A Continental Shelf is also known as the submerged coastland. As we go further, the slope of the sea bed becomes narrow and steeper to form the Continental Slope.
