Answer 1

Answer - 4. African Rift Valley, Red Sea, Atlantic Ocean

Reason - Since these are the list of order the African rift valley was probably oldest and crack thru the sea floor in a sequence.

Answer 2

The correct sequence is (d) African Rift Valley, Red Sea, Atlantic Ocean

The correct sequence of initial seafloor followed by advanced stages in the process of seafloor spreading process is, (1) the formation of African rift valley (2) Red Sea (3) Atlantic ocean.

The valley is between African plate and Arabian plate which forms the valley and this valley further forms the Red sea which then gets mixed with the Atlantic ocean.
