Answer 1

Hint: The Suez Canal is an artificial sea level waterway in Egypt. It is often considered to define the border between Africa and Asia. The canal offers watercraft a more direct route between the north and atlantic and northern indian oceans via the Mediterranean and Red seas. It extends from the northern terminus of port said to the southern terminus of port tewfik at the city of suez. The original canal featured a single-lane waterway with passing locations in B Bypass Ballah, the great bitter lake.

Complete answer:
 The original canal featured a single-lane waterway with passing locations in the Ballah Bypass and the great bitter lake. It contains no lock system, with seawater flowing freely through it. In general, the canal north of the Bitter Lakes flows north in winter and south in summer. South of the lakes, the current changes with the tide at Suez The united kingdom and france owned the canal until July 1956, when the president of egypt, gamal abdel of nasser, nationalized it—an event which led to the suez crisis of October–November 1956. The canal is owned and maintained by the Suez of Egypt. Under the convention of Constantinople, it may be used in time of war as in time of peace, by every vessel of commerce or of war, without distinction of flag. Nevertheless, the canal has played an important military strategic role as a naval short-cut and choke-point. Navies with coastlines and bases on both the Mediterranean and Red Seas (Egypt and Israel) have a particular interest in the Suez Canal. On 24 February 2016, the Suez Canal Authority officially opened the new side channel. This side channel, located at the northern side of the east extension of the Suez Canal, serves the East Terminal for berthing and unberthing vessels from the terminal. As the East Container Terminal is located on the Canal itself, before the construction of the new side channel it was not possible to berth or unberth vessels at the terminal while a convoy was running. When built, the canal was 164 km (102 mi) long and 8 m (26 ft) deep. After several enlargements, it is 193.30 km (120.11 mi) long, 24 m (79 ft) deep and 205 metres (673 ft) wide.It consists of the northern access channel, of 22 km (14 mi), the canal itself of 162.25 km (100.82 mi) and the southern access channel of 9 km (5.6 mi).

So, the correct answer is option Red Sea with the Mediterranean Sea

Note:
The so-called new suez canal, functional since 6 August 2015 currently has a new parallel canal in the middle part, with its length over 35 km (22 mi). The current parameters of the Suez Canal, including both individual canals of the parallel section are: depth 23 to 24 metres (75 to 79 ft) and width at least 205 to 225 metres (673 to 738 ft) (that width measured at 11 metres (36 ft) of depth).
