Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Gulf of Mannar
The ambitious Sethusamudram
Shipping Canal Project, which proposes to link the Palk Bay and the Gulf of
Mannar between India and Sri Lanka by creating a shipping canal. With
a depth of less than 10 meters across most of its extent, the sea is not
sufficient for the movement of ships. This is due to the presence of the
shallow region of Adam’s bridge, located southeast of Rameswaram near Pamban,
that joined Sri Lanka to the continent of Asia during the last ice age.
