Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 (A-4, B-2, C-5, D-3). This matching accurately reflects the geographical distribution of these significant global islands.

  • A. Falkland Islands (4): Located in the South Atlantic Ocean, east of the Patagonian coast. It is a British Overseas Territory and a long-standing point of contention between the UK and Argentina.
  • B. Cyprus (2): Situated in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, south of Turkey. It is the third-largest island in the Mediterranean.
  • C. Socotra (5): Part of Yemen, this island lies in the Arabian Sea near the Gulf of Aden. It is globally recognized for its unique biodiversity.
  • D. Jamaica (3): A major island nation located in the Caribbean Sea, south of Cuba.

Other options are incorrect because they misplace these landmarks; for instance, Option 1 incorrectly places the Falklands in the Arabian Sea and Jamaica in the Mediterranean, defying basic physical geography.
