List I | List II
A. Hawaiian Islands | 1. Indian Ocean
B. Solomon Islands | 2. North Pacific Ocean
C. St. Helena | 3. Sourth Pacific
D. Seychelles | 4. South Atlantic Ocean
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 (A-2, B-3, C-4, D-1) based on the precise geographical locations of these island groups:
- Hawaiian Islands (A-2): Located in the North Pacific Ocean, this archipelago is a central hub in the northern hemisphere's Pacific region.
- Solomon Islands (B-3): Situated in Melanesia, east of Papua New Guinea, they lie within the South Pacific Ocean.
- St. Helena (C-4): A remote British Overseas Territory famous as Napoleon's place of exile, it is located in the South Atlantic Ocean.
- Seychelles (D-1): An archipelago nation consisting of 115 islands, it is located off the East African coast in the Indian Ocean.
Option 1 correctly aligns these islands with their respective oceans. Other options are incorrect as they misplace the latitudinal (North/South) or oceanic basins for these specific territories.
