C)A = continental slope,B = mid-ocean ridge,C = trench,D = volcanic arc 
D)A = continental shelf,B = abyssal plain,C = trench,D = mid-ocean ridge

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A - continental shelf (extends from coast to shelf break)
B - abyssal plain (large, flat area of the deep ocean floor)
C - mid-ocean ridge (long, underwater mountain chain that runs through the center of many oceans)
D - trench (a deep, narrow depression in the ocean floor)
