  • A.strait
  • B.isthmus
  • C.island
  • D.bay

Answer: B

A narrow strip of land joining two landmasses is an isthmus.

Examples are the Isthmus of Panama, joining North and South America, and the Isthmus of Suez, joining Africa and Asia. Both have had canals cut through them to link the seas on either side.

A strait is the opposite: a narrow strip of water joining two larger bodies of water, such as the Palk Strait. An island is land surrounded by water, and a bay is a part of the sea partly enclosed by land.
