Answer:

B. to shorten sailing time between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans

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.
