Solution
The correct option is B Atlantic ocean
The Atlantic Ocean is the second-largest ocean in the world after the Pacific Ocean. It is located between North and South America in the west and Europe and Africa in the east. It covers an area of 82,000-kilometer square which is one-sixth of the geographical area of the globe and half of the area of the Pacific ocean. The Atlantic Ocean was formed due to the drifting of North and South America to the west due to plate tectonic. The "S" shape of the ocean indicates the fact that landmasses on either side were once a contiguous part.
