Which feature shows that the ocean floor is not fixed but dynamic?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Formation of new crust and subduction of old crust

The direct answer is Option D. A dynamic ocean floor is one that is continuously created, moved and destroyed. At mid-ocean ridges, magma rises and cools to form new oceanic crust; this is called sea-floor spreading. In other places, old, dense oceanic crust sinks beneath another plate at a subduction zone and is recycled into the mantle. This complete process proves that the ocean floor is not fixed. Option A, sand on beaches, is only a coastal material and does not show global crustal movement. Option B, river erosion, changes land near rivers but does not explain ocean-floor renewal. Option C, forest distribution, concerns vegetation and climate, not plate motion. Option D gives both creation and destruction, so it is the strongest evidence. Remember: ridges make; trenches consume.
