Solution :-

The correct answer of this question is the option (c) Suez Canal.

The Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level waterway running North to South across the Isthmus Suez in Egypt to connect the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea. The canal separates the African Continent from Asia and it provides the shortest maritime route between Europe and the lands lying around the Indian and Western Pacific Ocean. It is one of the world's most heavily used shipping lanes. The Suez canal is one of the most important waterways in the world. The canal is extensively used by modern ships.

Option C, Suez canal, is the right answer.

The inauguration of Suez Canal took place in the year 1869. It reduced the distance between India and Europe by 7000 km. Prior to the opening of this canal, one had to cover almost half of the east and the entire West coast of the African continent riding through the Cape of Good Hope, in order to reach Europe.
