Solution

The correct option is A
1 and 2 only
Explanation:

India’s Primary Area of Strategic Interest is its Maritime security.

Points 1 and 2 are correct: Strait of Hormuz joins, Gulf of Persia & Gulf of Oman and Malacca Strait joins, Andaman Sea & South China Sea. They cover the Indian ocean region. Thus, they both are very significant for India’s maritime interests.

Point 3 is incorrect: Yucatan Strait joins the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. Thus, it is not significant for India’s strategic interest.
