Explanation:
The reason why "B). the Korean Peninsula" is the correct answer because when you look at the map, the country right next to the peninsula on the right would be Japan. Knowing that the country next to it is Japan, you could look at a map and see the Korea would be right next to Japan. The red circle is in East Asia, and Korea is in East Asia, therefore giving you the answer that this would be the Korean peninsula.

Why the other answer choices are incorrect:
The reason why answer choice "A. the Indian Peninsula" is incorrect because:
The Indian peninsula is actually in South Asia, in which the red circle on the map in your question is around East Asia. On your map, Indian would be more South-west from the red circle. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.
The reason why answer choice "C). the Malay Peninsula" is incorrect because:
The Malaysian peninsula is no where near the red circle on your map. Malaysia would be way more South from the red circle, being near places like the Philippines, Singapore, and etc. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.
The reason why answer choice "D). the Kamchatka Peninsula" is incorrect because:
The Kamchatka peninsula is far more up North-East than the red circle. The Kamchatka peninsula is a peninsula that is actually in Russia, and the red circle on your map is a country from East Asia. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.
