The correct answer is (i) Continent shelf. Continental shelf is a part of the ocean floor which is of great importance to man. It is the shallow extension of the continent which is submerged.
It depth of water can range from 120 - 370 meters.
These shelves can be very narrow or non-existent, specially in places where fold mountains run quite close to the coast.
Continental shelves are a great use to man as they provide with fishing grounds, minerals, sand, gravel and so on.
