Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Opening a new canal in Kra is thums can reduce the navigation time and distance. Malacca strait is the main shipping channel between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and links India, China, Japan and South Korea. The issue of deepening of the Malacca strait is ?linked? to its economic importance rather than ?time of navigation and distance?. The issue is that most of the ships cannot pass through it and the size of the biggest ships which can enter through it is called Malacca max. Now the deepening of the strait would certainly help in ?Increasing the volume of the business? because ships of larger sizes can pass through it, there is no significance of distance and navigation.
