Correct Option
Turkey is a transcontinental country primarily located in Western Asia, with a smaller portion in Southeastern Europe. Its geographical position is defined by its extensive coastlines:
- To the north, it borders the Black Sea.
- To the south, it borders the Mediterranean Sea.
- To the west, it borders the Aegean Sea.
Therefore, Turkey is situated between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
Incorrect Options
Option (a) Black Sea and Caspian Sea: Turkey does not border the Caspian Sea. The landmass between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea is occupied by countries such as Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.
Option (c) Gulf of Suez and Mediterranean Sea: The Gulf of Suez is an extension of the Red Sea, located in Egypt. These water bodies are not directly associated with Turkey's primary geographical location.
Option (d) Gulf of Aqaba and Dead Sea: The Gulf of Aqaba is an extension of the Red Sea, and the Dead Sea is a salt lake. Both are located in the vicinity of Jordan and Israel, not Turkey.
