В

from the Atlantic Ocean
connects the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter B

The Suez Canal is a canal that was built to connect the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, in order to be used as a route for the circulation of ships.

Its construction was very important from the point of view of maritime transport, because without its existence, a vessel that left Italy, for example, bound for India, would have to bypass the African continent through the Cape of Good Hope. Before the construction of the canal, the flow of goods occurred on land, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.
