{'larger land masses': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'peninsula': [4, 0, 1, 2], 'narrow strip': [4, 0, 0, 0], 'strait': [3, 0, 0, 0], 'cape': [4, 0, 0, 2], 'land': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 4: Isthmus. An isthmus is a narrow strip of land that connects two larger land masses. It is usually surrounded by water on two sides, such as a sea or an ocean.

Option 1: A strait is a narrow passage of water that connects two larger bodies of water, such as two seas or two oceans. It does not connect two land masses directly.

Option 2: A peninsula is a piece of land that is surrounded by water on three sides. It is connected to a larger land mass by a narrow strip of land called an isthmus.

Option 3: A cape is a pointed piece of land that extends into a body of water, such as an ocean or a sea. It does not connect two land masses.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4: Isthmus.
