Answer 1

The crust of the earth is a thin, solid, layer of rock

Your answer is C.

Answer 2

My guess would be C

Step-by-step explanation:

The crust, which is Earths outer solid layer of rock, is around 20km thick if I remembered correctly, and the ocean is nowhere near that, so there would be rock under the ocean.

If you find a better answer, then use it, because I'm not completely sure, but that's my best guess based on the possible answers
