Analyze the following sentences and pick the sentence which best represents a syntax suitable for knowledgeable readers in geologic field? a) rocks remember. b) there’s too many rocks in the mountain to go pick’n up every stone. c) square-cut or pear-shaped, these rocks don’t lose their shape. d) oceanic geology faces ever changing technological advances in drilling and mining.

For me, the answer is letter D.

Only choice D has the technical words associated to geography. The rest of the choices contain common words that any mundane could use. But choice D talks about geology itself in the ocean which is highly influenced by drilling and mining. Knowledgeable readers would understand this because drilling and mining require workers to tap into the geological rocks deep beneath the ground which may cause a significant alteration in the oceanic geology.
