Which body of water is arrow one (1) pointing to on the map above? a. the coral sea b. the tasman sea c. the gulf of carpentaria d. the great australian bight

The correct answer is - D. the Great Australian Bight.

The Great Australian Bight is a body of water that is located south of the Australian mainland. It is spread in most of the southern coast of the continent, and in general it is a shallow body of water that looks like it is penetrating into the continent because in this part Australia has an inward half circular shape. Because it is mainly shallow body of water, and the coast in this part is mostly flat, it is not a place that is suitable for creating ports.
