Which statement is true about the Mariana Trench?

• A. It is the deepest point on Earth located in the Pacific Ocean
• B. It is located in the Atlantic Ocean
• C. It is the highest mountain on Earth
• D. It is about 50 meters deep

Answer: (A)

The Mariana Trench is the deepest point in Earth’s oceans, located in the western Pacific Ocean. The deepest spot there, the Challenger Deep, reaches about 36,000 feet (around 10,973 meters). So the statement that it is the deepest point on Earth located in the Pacific Ocean is true. It isn’t in the Atlantic Ocean, so that other claim is incorrect. It isn’t a mountain, so calling it the highest mountain on Earth doesn’t fit. And it’s far deeper than 50 meters, so that option is also false.
