B. The Panama Canal  O3O

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is B, as the list has notes regarding the Panama Canal.

Explanation:

The Panama Canal is an interoceanic navigation route between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean that crosses the Isthmus of Panama at its narrowest point, whose length is 82 km.

Considered one of the great works of world engineering of the twentieth century, the channel works through locks at each end that raise the boats to Lake Gatun, an artificial lake created to reduce the amount of work required for the excavation of the canal , 26 meters above sea level, then descend to the Pacific or Atlantic level. Before its opening, the natural passages used between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans were the Strait of Magellan and Cape Horn, located at the southern tip of Chile.

Since its inauguration on August 15, 1914, the channel has managed to reduce maritime communication in time and distance, boosting commercial and economic exchange by providing a short and relatively cheap transit route between the two oceans, decisively influencing the patterns of global trade, boosting the economic growth of developed and developing countries, in addition to providing the basic impetus for the economic expansion of many remote regions of the world.
