Explanation:

- The passage describes two friends, a camel and a fox, planning to cross a body of water to reach a farm.

- Their intention is to steal food, and the fox cannot swim, prompting the camel to offer assistance.

- Option 1: "Sea" - A sea is a large body of saltwater, typically larger than a river. It would be disproportionate for the setting of crossing to a nearby farm.

- Option 2: "Ocean" - An ocean is even larger than a sea, making it an unlikely choice. It's improbable to casually swim across an ocean.

- Option 3: "Lake" - A lake is smaller than a sea or ocean but generally larger than a river. Possible, but not typically associated with nearby farm crossings.

- Option 4: "River" - Rivers are common, flowing bodies of water often found near farms. They are ideal for the context of crossing to steal food.
