Discussion
Which one of the following is located in South China Sea ?
Answer: A
The Spratly Islands are in the South China Sea, where China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan have claims over them. The option is spelt 'Spartley' in the booklet.
Vanuatu and Viti Levu (Fiji) are in the south Pacific, and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands lie in the Indian Ocean, so none of them is in the South China Sea.
The chain of small islands, reefs and banks covers a wide area of the sea, which is rich in fisheries and may have oil and gas, and this is why six governments dispute it.
