The correct answer to this question is option 1, Iberian Peninsula. The Strait of Gibraltar is a narrow passage of water that separates the Iberian Peninsula from the African continent. It connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean and is located between the southernmost tip of Spain and the northernmost part of Morocco. The Iberian Peninsula refers to the landmass that includes Spain and Portugal. Therefore, it is the most accurate option among the choices provided. Options 2, 3, and 4 are incorrect. The Indian Peninsula refers to the southern part of the Indian subcontinent, which is located far southeast of the Strait of Gibraltar. The Arabian Peninsula is situated in the Middle East and is also not near the strait. Cape York Peninsula is located in the northeastern part of Australia, which is on a completely different continent than the strait.
