The correct sequence of seafloor features as you move from the shoreline outward into the ocean is:
**C: continental shelf - continental slope - abyssal plain**
The continental shelf is the shallow area close to the shore, followed by the continental slope, which is a steeper area, and then the abyssal plain, which is a flat deep-sea floor.
**C: continental shelf - continental slope - abyssal plain**
The continental shelf is the shallow area close to the shore, followed by the continental slope, which is a steeper area, and then the abyssal plain, which is a flat deep-sea floor.
