• A. Red Sea and Gulf of Aden
• B. Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman
• C. Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea
• D. Persian Gulf and Gulf of Aden

Answer 1

The correct option is B Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman

The narrow Strait of Hormuz is considered one of the most strategic strait of water on the planet. The Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea and represents one of the world's most important oil chokepoints with approximately 14 million barrels per da (b/d) of oil being exported. Through its waters, in giant ocean-going tankers, passes much of the oil from Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Bordered by Iran, Oman's Musandam Peninsula and the United Arab Emirates, this stretch of water is of obvious military significance
