A Correct answer
Explanation

The Panama Canal is an artificial 82 km waterway in Panama that connects the Atlantic Ocean (via the Caribbean Sea) with the Pacific Ocean. It allows ships to bypass the long and treacherous route around the southern tip of South America (Cape Horn). The canal significantly reduces shipping distances and time between the east and west coasts of the Americas. Option C has a typo ('Oceanq' instead of 'Ocean').
