B .  Persian Gulf
C .  Mediterrarean Sea

Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
The worst oil spill in history wasn’t an accident — it was deliberate. During the Gulf War in 1991, as Iraqi forces retreated from Kuwait, they opened the valves of oil wells and pipelines in a bid to slow the onslaught of American troops.
The result was the largest oil spill history has seen. Some 240 million gallons of crude oil flowed into the Persian Gulf.
