D. None of these

Francis Drake discovered the Drake Passage. The Drake Passage is a strait of water that connects South America to Antarctica. It links the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The width of this passage is about 800 km and is associated with strong winds and huge waves. These waves make it a challenging place for hips to navigate.

It is also a place where cold water from Antarctica flows with warmer water from the north, serving as a home to many sea animals, such as whales, seals, and seabirds. Even though it can be very rough for people passing through the Drake Passage to reach Antarctica for their research or adventure.
