Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Atlantic Ocean has the least risk for tsunamis compared to the other regions listed because the Atlantic Ocean is not located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, which is a major source of earthquake and volcanic activity that can trigger tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. Additionally, the Mediterranean Sea has experienced several historical tsunamis, and even though they may occur less frequently than in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, there is still a risk present. Therefore, D is the best choice.
