The correct answer is: Mariana Trench
A deep-sea trench is a long, narrow, characteristically very deep and asymmetrical depression of the sea floor, with relatively steep sides. Oceanic trenches contain the greatest oceanic depths and are associated with the most active volcanism. Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean is the deepest location on Earth, with a depth of approximately 10,920 m (35,825 ft). Its deepest point is known as “Challenger Deep”. The other trenches listed here are also found in the Pacific Ocean.
