Answer
The best answer is **increased inland reach of sea power and nuclear power.**While exploitation of the continental shelf (for resources like oil and gas) is a significant technological development post-WWII, it doesn't hold the same level of transformative impact as the other two. Nuclear power revolutionized energy production (and weaponry) while the increased inland reach of sea power, primarily through advancements in aircraft carriers and amphibious assault capabilities, significantly altered naval strategy and global power projection.
