The correct option is B Only 2
Opening a new canal in Kra Insthums CAN reduce the navigation time and distance.
The Malacca strait is the main shipping channel between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and links the India, China, Japan and South Korea. The issue of deepening of the Malacca strait is linked to its economic importance rather than “time of navigation and distance”.
The issue is that most of the ships cannot pass through it and the size of the biggest ships which can enter through it is called Malaccamax. Now the deepening of the strait would certainly help in “Increasing the volume of the business” because ships of larger sizes can pass thru it, there is no significance of distance and navigation
