Oceans cover approximately 71% of Earth's surface, though 75% is commonly used as a rounded figure in educational materials. 98% would leave almost no land, 80% is too high, and 50% would mean equal land and water coverage - none of these match the actual distribution.

This is a literal/riddle question. The 'deepest' part of any body of water is logically at the bottom. 'End', 'Start', and 'Middle' are relative horizontal positions, whereas depth is a vertical measurement ending at the bottom.
