Answer 1

To sequence the seafloor features as you move from the shoreline outward into the ocean, the correct order is:

C. continental shelf - continental slope - abyssal plain

This represents the typical progression from the land (continental shelf) to the steep drop-off (continental slope) and finally to the flat, deep ocean floor (abyssal plain).
