At point C in sea floor spreading, new oceanic crust is being formed as magma rises from the mantle at a mid-ocean ridge. This process occurs as tectonic plates move apart, allowing the molten material to fill the gap and solidify. The continual creation of new crust pushes older crust away from the ridge, leading to the expansion of the ocean floor. This dynamic process is crucial for understanding plate tectonics and the geological activity associated with it.

Is the analysis of seafoor sediments evidence of sea-floor spreading?
Not really but sea floor sediments thickness increase with increased distance from spreading centers which is good evidence. Other evidence such as magnetic reversals, temperature, dating methods provide the best evidence of seafloor spreading

Identify how magnetic symmetry can be used as evidence of sea floor spreading?
As the sea floor spreads the magnetic orientation in the rocks as they cooled is preserved. As the earth's magnetic field changes then a distinct pattern is imprinted in the rocks. If sea floor spreading is true then this unique pattern should be the same on both sides from the spreading point. Measurements of sea bottom rocks verify this symmetry is true. :)
