Answer 1

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.
