The correct data used to make a sonar map of the ocean floor is:
- **the time it takes for a pulse to bounce from the ocean floor**
In sonar mapping, a device sends out sound pulses, and the time it takes for those pulses to travel to the ocean floor and back is measured. This information is then used to calculate the depth of the water and create detailed maps of the seafloor.
- **the time it takes for a pulse to bounce from the ocean floor**
