Solution:

The correct answer is the North Atlantic Ocean.Bermuda IslandsIt is a self-governing British overseas territory in the western North Atlantic Ocean.It is an archipelago of 7 main islands and about 170 additional (named) islets and rocks, situated about 650 miles (1,050 km) east of Cape Hatteras (North Carolina, U.S.).It is located off the east coast of the United States.The nearest landmass is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, about 640 miles (1,030 km) west-northwest.It is the oldest remaining British overseas territory, settled by England a century before the Acts of Union that created the United Kingdom of Great Britain.Bermuda is neither geologically nor spatially associated with the West Indies, which lie more than 800 miles (1,300 km) to the south and southwest.The archipelago is about 24 miles (40 km) long and averages less than 1 mile (1.6 km) in width.The main islands are clustered together in the shape of a fishhook and are connected by bridges.The largest island is Main Island, 14 miles (22.5 km) long and 1 mile wide.The Peak, at 259 feet (79 metres) on Main Island, is the highest point and the capital is Hamilton.Mistake Points?Caribbean SeaThe Caribbean Sea is a tropical sea in the Western Hemisphere, part of the Atlantic Ocean, southeast of the Gulf of Mexico. Hence, the Bermuda triangle is not the part of Caribbean Sea.The Caribbean Sea is bordered by Venezuela, Colombia, and Panama to the south, Central American countries (Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, and Belize) on the west; with the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico) on the north and the Lesser Antilles on the east.
