The correct answer is - d. Strait of Hormuz.

The Strait of Hormuz is located between the territories of Oman and the United Arab Emirates from one side, and Iran on the other side. It lies between the water bodies of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.

The strait itself is on the boundary between the Eurasian tectonic plate, and the Arabian tectonic plate. They form a convergent boundary. Since the Arabian plate is pushing against the Eurasian plate, there's constant stress deep into the ground, stress that causes lot of cracks to appear inside the crust. That results in very common earthquake occurrences.

The answer is most likely 4 but I think you need a table or a marked hygrometer to work this out. You can't really work out humidity by the given temperatures. All you can know for sure is that there is a strong chance of rain because dew point is only 1 degree away. (I think what they want you to do is 29/30 x100)

My answer:

Despite the fact that everybody realizes that seawater is pungent, not many realize that even little varieties in sea surface saltiness (i.e., convergence of broke down salts) can effectsly affect the water cycle and sea flow. Since Earth's commencement, certain cycles have served to make the sea pungent. The enduring of rocks conveys minerals, including salt, into the sea. Dissipation of sea water and arrangement of ocean ice both increment the saltiness of the sea. Anyway these "saltiness raising" factors are ceaselessly offset measures that decline saltiness, for example, the nonstop contribution of new water from streams, precipitation of downpour and day off, liquefying of ice.
I hope that helped you a lot
