The correct answer is option 3 - the Strait of Dover. The Strait of Dover, the narrowest part of the English Channel, is where the Channel Tunnel connects the United Kingdom and France.
Option 1, the Davis Strait, is a wrong choice because it is located between Greenland and the northeastern part of Canada, and has no connection with either the United Kingdom or France.
Option 2, the Denmark Strait, while in the general vicinity of the UK, is between Iceland and Greenland and also does not connect the UK to France.
Lastly, option 4, the Strait of Gibraltar, is at the southern tip of Spain and is the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea, not a connection point between France and the UK.
