A. Strait of Gibraltar
B. Bosporus Strait✓ Correct Answer
C. Dardanelles Strait
D. Kerch Strait

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Bosporus Strait is a crucial narrow waterway that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, serving as a natural continental boundary between European Turkey and Asian Turkey. Other choices such as the Strait of Gibraltar connect the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, while the Dardanelles links the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara. Control over the Bosporus has historically made it one of the most strategic maritime chokepoints in the world for international trade and geopolitics.
