Explanation
The Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman (and thus to the Arabian Sea). The Red Sea–Mediterranean link is the Suez Canal, the Gulf of Aden–Red Sea link is Bab-el-Mandeb, and the Black Sea–Mediterranean link is the Bosphorus/Dardanelles. Hence option C is correct.
