Solution

The correct option is B Gulf
A gulf is a large inlet of a sea cutting deep into the landmass, typically narrower opening than a bay, though it is not observable in all geographical areas. Many important trading centers are located on gulfs. Gulfs are sometimes connected with oceans through narrow passages of water called as straits.
