The outer limits of the legal continental shelf cannot exceed 350 Nautical miles from the territorial sea baselines or 100 Nautical miles beyond the ................. isobath.
2500 meters
Article 76 of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) defines the legal continental shelf. A coastal state may claim the shelf to 200 nautical miles from its baselines, or further where the natural prolongation of its land territory extends beyond that distance.
Article 76(5) sets two alternative outer constraints for the extended shelf: the outer limit shall not exceed 350 nautical miles from the territorial sea baselines, or shall not exceed 100 nautical miles from the 2,500 metre isobath, which is the line connecting points of 2,500 metres depth. A state may use whichever constraint is more favourable along each part of its margin.
The 100 metre and 200 metre depth lines relate to the older geological idea of the shelf break and the 1958 Geneva Convention's 200 metre depth test, not to the Article 76 cut-off. A 1,000 metre isobath does not appear in the article at all.
2500 meters option is correct.
