    A. Deep sound
    Explanation
    The word "rumbling" typically refers to a deep, low-pitched sound. This is usually associated with a continuous or prolonged noise that is often caused by something large or powerful. "Squeaky" and "sharp" sounds are high-pitched and usually short in duration, while "silent" means no sound at all. Therefore, "deep sound" is the most appropriate choice to describe the word "rumbling".

Similarly, a pond is a small body of water that is separate from a larger body of water, such as a lake or river. The other options, ocean, bluff, and island, do not fit the definition of a lagoon.
