A. Black Sea and Aegean Sea (Mediterranean Sea)✓ Correct Answer
B. Caspian Sea and Black Sea
C. Baltic Sea and North Sea
D. Red Sea and Arabian Sea
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Turkish Straits system, comprising the Bosporus and the Dardanelles along with the intervening Sea of Marmara, connects the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea and the broader Mediterranean Sea. Distractors referencing the Caspian or Baltic seas lack direct hydrological connection through these specific straits. These waterways serve as one of the most critical maritime choke points in international trade and geopolitics.
