Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a) Pacific Ocean
Explanation:
· The Pacific Ocean contains the maximum number of submerged islands, also known as seamounts or guyots.
· It is estimated to have tens of thousands of seamounts, significantly more than the Atlantic or Indian Oceans.
· This is largely due to the high level of volcanic activity associated with the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Information Booster:
· Seamounts are underwater mountains formed by volcanic activity that do not reach the water's surface.
· The Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the world's oceans, is also located in the Pacific Ocean.
· The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean on Earth.
