Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The small island on the lower right appears to be a fringing reef, as it is clearly connected to the land and is surrounded by shallow water. Sea stacks are typically tall, isolated rock formations near the shore, while atolls are circular coral reefs enclosing a lagoon. Sandbars are also typically isolated and do not have the same connection to the land as the island in the photograph.
