Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. King Fahd Causeway
- Step 1: The King Fahd Causeway opened in November 1986, spanning approximately 25 kilometers across the Gulf of Bahrain.
- Step 2: It connects Jasra on Bahrain Island to Al-Khobar in Saudi Arabia, passing over Umm an Nasan and Passport Island.
Answer
King Fahd Causeway.
Why not the others: 'Sheikh Isa bin Salman Causeway' connects Manama to Muharraq Island; 'Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman Causeway' links Hidd on Muharraq to Mina Salman in Manama; 'Friendship Bridge Causeway' is the proposed, unconstructed Qatar-Bahrain link.
