Correct option would be (B) . As seamounts are generally related to shallow ocean basins and they are formed as a part of continental fragment or one can it is an underwater mountain.. The answer for this question can never be guyots until and unless the statement is quite modified that will surely lead to guyot (as it is a flat topped seamount, it is form when peak point or horn is eroded in seamount). Atolls are geomorphological feature formed by accumulation of coral reefs and they are mostly in a ring shape. Microcontinent, this option can be misleading as they are fragments of a continents that have broken off the continental masses(best example is your Mauritia which was considered as a Precambrian microcontinent from which more fragments were broken off and that formed Madagascar..

Answer (B) Sea mounts Seamounts are sub-oceanic mountains that rise 100s or 1000s of feet from the seafloor. They are commonly part of extinct volcanoes. Guyots are seamounts that have built above sea level. Erosion by the waves modify the top of the seamount resulting in a flattened shape. Atoll is related to coral reefs. Atoll is a ring-shaped coral reef, island, or series of islets. An atoll surrounds a body of water called a lagoon. Microcontinents have also different geomorphological characteristics.
