Correct Answer: Option B
Detailed Explanation:
The correct answer is 1 and 3 (Option 2). Bahrain and Qatar are located in the Persian Gulf, so their ships must pass through the Strait of Hormuz to enter the Indian Ocean. Syria and Egypt can reach the Indian Ocean through the Mediterranean–Suez Canal–Red Sea route without crossing this strait.
| Strait of Hormuz is a narrow water passage connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean. It is one of the world's most important maritime routes for oil transportation. |
