The answer is the first one: This is likely, because Sumatra is near many ocean trenches.

Explanation:

  • Sumatra is located near the Sunda Trench, which is a significant ocean trench where the Indo-Australian Plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate. This tectonic activity makes the region prone to earthquakes and tsunamis.
  • The presence of many ocean trenches in the vicinity increases the likelihood of seismic activity, which can trigger tsunamis similar to the one in December 2004.
  • The other options are incorrect because they either misidentify the ocean (Sumatra is in the Indian Ocean, not the Pacific Ocean) or incorrectly assess the impact of ocean trenches on tsunami likelihood.
