Complete answer:
Although today, there are numerous ways of transporting cargo from one place to another ,ocean routes are important because they allow large amounts of cargo to be transported. Now ,let's see the options:-

North Pacific Ocean -The Northern part of the Pacific Ocean extended from the equator to the Arctic Ocean is called North Pacific Ocean;it is important for trade but not much is transported through Ocean routes from here, hence this is correct.
Indian Ocean- Indian ocean is present just below the Indian subcontinent and is surrounded by many developing Nations but as the Atlantic Ocean is the correct answer , this is incorrect.
Arctic Ocean- Arctic Ocean is present just below the north pole and as the population is sparse, there is limited trade hence this is an incorrect option.
North Atlantic Ocean- the Atlantic ocean has a long and indented coastline which helps in harbouring large numbers of ships. As it is sandwiched between two of the world's most industrialized continents , ocean trade routes provide the opportunity to trade large machineries,cars etc which cannot be transported through air . Hence this is incorrect.

The correct answer is option (D).

Note: The English channel which provides the link between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea, it is the busiest channel in the world. It has more than 500 ships passing through it daily.
