B. Asia and North America; Arctic Ocean and Pacific Ocean✓ Correct Answer
C. Australia and Asia; Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean
D. North America and South America; Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Bering Strait establishes a natural oceanic dividing line between the continents of Asia and North America while connecting the Arctic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Other straits like Gibraltar link the Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean Sea rather than separating North America and Asia. This narrow waterway also marks the International Date Line and the boundary between Russia and the United States.
