Solution

The correct option is A The Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman

Explanation:

  • The strait lies between Oman and Iran. It links the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.
  • Almost a fifth of the world’s oil passes through the Strait. Most crude exported from Saudi Arabia, Iran, the UAE, Kuwait, and Iraq — all members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries — is shipped through the waterway.
