Best Answer

Both answers are correct. Sunk is the past tense of the word Sink. But we use the word "sunken" to describe an object that is lying at the bottom of a body of water.

Example 1: The ship has sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

Example 2: The sunken ship was being examined by a dive team.
