Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Pacific Ocean > Atlantic Ocean > Indian Ocean > Antarctic Ocean.
The correct sequence of oceans by size, from largest to smallest, is Pacific Ocean > Atlantic Ocean > Indian Ocean > Antarctic Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is the largest, covering more area than all landmasses combined. The Atlantic Ocean follows, being the second largest. The Indian Ocean ranks third, primarily surrounded by Asia, Africa, and Australia. The Antarctic Ocean, also called the Southern Ocean, is the smallest among them. This classification is based on total surface area and geographic extent.
