The correct answer is A. Sabrina, because her claim is based on research and logic.

Explanation

A scientific claim is a way of proving a phenomenon (in this case a natural phenomenon) in which results of scientific tests are used in order to give reliability to the proposed answers, for this reason, Sabrina's statement that says that Seamounts are the result of a divergent plaque process is a scientific claim because it has been proven, while Chris's claim based on what he saw in a movie is not considered a scientific claim because he has no proof. So, the correct answer is A. Sabrina, because her claim is based on research and logic.
