2. Red Sea
3. Mediterranean Sea
4. Indian Ocean
Select the correct answer from the code given below :
Code :

The Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt that connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea through the Isthmus of Suez. Opened in 1869, it serves as the shortest maritime route between Europe and the lands lying around the Indian and western Pacific oceans.

• Statement 2 and 3: These are correct. The canal's northern terminus is Port Said on the Mediterranean Sea, and its southern terminus is Port Tewfik at the city of Suez on the Red Sea.
• Statement 1 and 4: While the canal facilitates trade between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, it does not directly connect them. The Atlantic connects to the Mediterranean via the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Red Sea connects to the Indian Ocean via the Bab-el-Mandeb strait.
