Ellen is applying for a summer internship creating high-resolution sea floor maps for a government agency. If she gets the internship, which sonar technology would she MOST likely use to create these images?

A. multibeam sonar because it is a classified technology
B. side-scan sonar because it sends large amounts of sound signals
C. multibeam sonar because it sends one signal at a time

C. multibeam sonar because it sends one signal at a time

Multibeam sonar technology is commonly used for creating high-resolution sea floor maps as it provides detailed and accurate images by sending out multiple beams of sound waves in different directions at once, allowing for efficient mapping of the sea floor. Additionally, multibeam sonar technology is often used in government agencies for such purposes.
