Correct Answer: lagoon
Solution : The correct answer is lagoon .
A lagoon is a tiny body of water that may have access to bigger bodies but is protected from it by a sandbar or coral reef . Two common types of lagoons are coastal lagoons and atoll lagoons . When an island submerges under the ocean, a ring of coral growing upward is left behind to create atoll lagoons. Lagoons near the coast form with a gentle slope. They are typically more isolated from the ocean by an island, reef, or sandbank and are shallower than atoll lagoons.
