D Correct answer
Explanation

A majority of earthquakes (over 80%) do occur in the sea along oceanic plate boundaries. Earthquake waves don't always make audible noise, not all quakes kill people, and scientists do understand what causes earthquakes (plate tectonics). The oceanic statistic is the only accurate statement among the options.
