Verified Answer :

So, C.

The correct answer is C. The geographical significance of the English Channel is that it separates England from France (and all continental Europe).

Due to the importance of its location, it is considered to be the busiest shipping area in the world.

Historically, it has been a water-made barrier that gave Britain security against possible invasions.  In fact, thanks to the English Channel, Hitler couldn't invade the United Kingdom.
