A. 2,100 feet above sea level

B. 2,100 feet below sea level

C. -2,100 feet above sea level

D. +2,100 feet below sea level

Step-by-step explanation

Depth above water levels refers to a location's peak just above ocean.

If indeed the height is positive (+) then the depth might well just above water level and if negative (-) therefore the depth will be lower than the water level.
