Concept:The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow but vital maritime passage located between Iran and Oman. It acts as a key chokepoint for global oil shipments.
Explanation:The strait links two major bodies of water: the Persian Gulf on its western side and the Gulf of Oman on its eastern side.
From the Gulf of Oman, ships can reach the Arabian Sea and then the Indian Ocean.
Option A (Red Sea to Gulf of Aden) describes the Bab el-Mandeb strait.
Option C (Red Sea to Indian Ocean) is also the Bab el-Mandeb, not Hormuz.
Option D (Mediterranean Sea to Red Sea) is the Suez Canal.
Only option B correctly names the two seas that the Strait of Hormuz directly connects.
Answer:B. The Persian Gulf to Gulf of Oman
