Answer 1

The answers are C and E.
The answer choice A is not possible, it is not even a noun.
Answer choice B is fairly too specific, we are looking for general nouns.
Answer choice C is possible, it is not too specific, it is an "everyday word."
Answer choice D is fairly too specific, it specifically describes a certain ocean, rather than using the word "ocean" itself.
