Answer 1

The correct option is B Atlantic Ocean

The Atlantic Ocean borders five continents; Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, and South America. In total, 133 countries and territories border the ocean including four of the five largest countries in the world. Although not the largest of the world’s oceans, this ocean has by far the largest drainage area. The continents on both sides of the Atlantic tend to slope toward it, so that it receives the waters of a great proportion of the major rivers of the world.

The important seas which are a part of the Atlantic Ocean include the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Caribbean Sea, North Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Norwegian Sea. Some of the important islands in this ocean include the Canary Islands, Newfoundland, Azores, Greenland and Iceland.
