The Strait of Malacca is a narrow body of water that connects the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea. It lies between two countries, namely Malaysia and Indonesia. Option 1 is incorrect as it suggests that the strait is between Myanmar and Malaysia, which is inaccurate. Option 3 is also incorrect as it states that the strait is between Indonesia and the Philippines. Similarly, option 4 is incorrect as it states that the strait lies between the Philippines and Taiwan. These options do not align with the actual geography of the Strait of Malacca. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, which states that the strait lies between Malaysia and Indonesia.
