The correct response is:
**the time it takes for a pulse to bounce from the ocean floor**
This data is used in sonar mapping to determine the depth and structure of the ocean floor. When a sonar pulse is sent from a vessel, the time it takes for the pulse to travel to the seabed and back is measured, allowing scientists to calculate the distance to the ocean floor.
