The correct answer is C) deep zone, surface zone, transition zone.
The statement that correctly lists the three zones that further divide the open-ocean zone is "deep zone, surface zone, transition zone."
We are talking about the part of the ocean that is way ahead from the shores. It is an immense zone that has many layers and most of it is what is called the deep zones of the ocean, barely explored by humans. It has many zones that scientists and oceanographers have called Epipelagic zone, Mesopelagic zone, Bathypelagic zone, Abbysopelagic zone. Most of these zones are very difficult to access bu humans. Some zones have been explored by robots and machines.
