The correct answer is Maracaibo. Maracaibo is a major port city located on the western shore of Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela. It has been developed as an oil port due to its strategic location near the Maracaibo Basin, which is one of the largest oil-producing regions in the country. The port of Maracaibo serves as a crucial hub for the export of Venezuelan oil, contributing significantly to the country`s oil industry and economy.
