Answer 1

Hint: African Continent is the second-largest continent in the world. It lies within the tropics. It is bisected or divided equally by the Equator. The climate of this continent varies from equatorial climate to tropical and wet climate. This continent is rich in flora and fauna.

Complete Answer:
Asia and Africa are the largest continents in the world. The Asian continent is surrounded by various seas and oceans. Africa too is also surrounded by seas, oceans, and islands. Both continents carry the maximum number of populations in the world.
The sea which separates the continent of Asia and Africa is the Red sea. It is one of the inlets of the Indian Ocean. It is one of the main routes used for transportation of oil and also useful in carrying trade from surrounding countries like Europe, Saudi Arabia, and various other eastern countries. It is surrounded by countries like Syria, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Somalia, Eritrea, etc.
The Black Sea is 175 kilometers in length. It is considered the world’s largest inland water body. It flows into the Mediterranean Sea. It is surrounded by countries like Ukraine, Romania, Turkey, Russia, Europe, and western Asia. And this does not separate Africa and Asia.
The Mediterranean Sea is located between Africa and countries like Italy, Spain, etc. It flows from the Atlantic Ocean, Nile and Ebro River, etc. It is one of the important routes for merchants and travelers in the past.
The Arabian Sea is a part of the Indian Ocean which is surrounded by countries like India, Iran, Pakistan, Oman, etc. It is one of the important sea routes.
So, the correct answer is Option B.

Note: Indian Oceans share an inlet to the Red sea due to which the Red sea separates Asia and Africa both the continents from each other. Rivers are the main routes for travelling from one to another and for transportation and trade and to carry out various occupations like Fishing and oil extraction.
