A) Siberia
B) north Africa
C) along the Persian gulf

Answer 1

Hello! Ceuta was a Spanish territory located in the northern coast of Africa. Persian Gulf is between Saudi Arabia and Iran, plus it also connects to the Indian Ocean. That is not even close to the Mediterranean Sea, or Spain. C is out. Southern Africa is way too far deep and far away from where Ceuta is located. D is out. A is out, because Siberia is a part of Russia, and Ceuta had nothing to do with Russia. Therefore, the answer is D.
