Which of the following are connected by over 1700 km-long BTC oil pipe-line ?

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline is a major international energy corridor that spans approximately 1,768 km in length [1]. It is specifically designed to transport crude oil from the Caspian Sea region to global markets via the Mediterranean Sea. The pipeline originates at the Sangachal terminal near Baku, Azerbaijan, on the shores of the Caspian Sea, traverses through Georgia, and terminates at the Ceyhan marine terminal on the Turkish Mediterranean coast. Completed in 2005 and becoming fully operational in 2006, it provides a strategic export route for Azerbaijani oil (from the ACG fields) as well as crude from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, bypassing the congested Turkish Straits [1]. By linking the landlocked Caspian region directly to a deep-water Mediterranean port, it serves as a vital link in world trade and energy security.
