A,C Correct answer
Explanation

Both Bangkok (Thailand) and Alleppey (India) are legitimately called 'Venice of the East' due to their extensive canal networks and waterways. Bangkok's khlongs (canals) earned it this nickname historically, while Alleppey in Kerala is known for its backwaters and canals. Guinea Coast and Pamir are not associated with this epithet.
