The correct answer is option 4, Atlantic Ocean. The Strait of Gibraltar acts as a natural gateway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It is located between Spain and Morocco and connects the North Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean. This strategic passage is about 14 kilometers wide at its narrowest point and is an important shipping route for vessels traveling between Europe and Africa. The other options, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, and Mediterranean Sea, are incorrect because the Strait of Gibraltar does not provide entry into these bodies of water. It is important to note that the Strait of Gibraltar is not the only entrance into the Atlantic Ocean, but it is a major one in the Western Mediterranean region.
