A Correct answer
Explanation

The International Date Line primarily passes through the Pacific Ocean, and the Bering Strait (between Alaska and Russia) is one of its key reference points. It was designed to run through open ocean wherever possible to avoid dividing land areas. The other straits - Gibraltar (Mediterranean), Florida (Caribbean), and Malacca (Southeast Asia) - are nowhere near the Date Line.
