Explanation:

• Strait of Hormuz is the waterway separating Iran and Oman, linking the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. Hence, option B is correct.
• On the north coast lies Iran, and on the south are the UAE and Musandam, an enclave of Oman.
• The Strait is 21 miles wide at its narrowest point, but the shipping lane is just two miles wide in either direction.
• It is one of the world’s most strategically important choke points.
• As much as 18 million barrels of oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz every day, accounting for one-third of the global oil trade.

Hence option 2nd is correct.
