- B.Sunken Ship, of Uluburun
- C.Sunken Ship, Uluburun
- D.Sunken Ship of Uluburun,
Answer
A. Sunken Ship of Uluburun
Explanation
The correct answer is A because it is the most concise and grammatically correct way to combine the three underlined words, avoiding unnecessary punctuation. Choice B uses a comma after "Ship" which is not needed. Choice C uses a comma after "Ship" and does not have a preposition following "of" which is also incorrect. Choice D incorrectly adds a comma after "Uluburun" and does not follow the rule for using commas after prepositions.
