Correct Answer - Option 3 : Daly

The correct answer is option 3

  • Daly is the propounded of the turbidity Current Theory on origin of submarine Canyons in 1936.
  • Stimulated by Daly's (1936) hypothesis that density (turbidity) currents carved the submarine canyons which dissect the continental margins, Stetson and Smith (1937), Kuenen (1937, 1947, 1948, 1950), and Bell (1942) conducted tank experiments from which they concluded that turbidity currents are not only possible in the modern sea but are important agents of transportation.

Therefore, the correct answer is Daly
