Explanation:

To determine the two major waterways in the Middle East, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The Arabian Sea is a sea, not a waterway (a waterway is a navigable route), so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: The Persian Gulf is a gulf (a body of water), not a waterway, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: The Suez Canal (a man - made waterway for navigation) and the Strait of Hormuz (a strait, a natural waterway for shipping, especially for oil) are both major waterways in the Middle East.
• Option 4: The Persian Gulf is a gulf, not a waterway, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. The Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz
