Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf (Gulf of Persia) with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea [2]. The Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean [3]. The Strait of Malacca is a vital maritime passage connecting the Andaman Sea (northeastern Indian Ocean) with the South China Sea [2]. Finally, the Strait of Sunda is located between the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra, linking the Indian Ocean with the Java Sea [2]. Therefore, the correct matching is: A-4 (Hormuz-Persian Gulf), B-3 (Bab-el-Mandeb-Red Sea), C-2 (Malacca-Andaman Sea), and D-1 (Sunda-Java Sea). These straits serve as critical global maritime chokepoints for trade and energy security [1].
