Which of the following sea route passes through the heart of the Old World and serves more countries and people than any other route?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The Mediterranean–Indian Ocean Sea Route: This sea route passes through the heart of the Old World and serves more countries and people than any other route. Port Said, Aden, Mumbai, Colombo and Singapore are some of the important ports on this route. The construction of Suez Canal has greatly reduced the distance and time as compared to the earlier route through the Cape of Good Hope, which was longer than the route through Suez Canal.
