Where is the Arctic Ocean located in relation to Canada?

  1. South

  2. East

  3. West

  4. North

The correct answer is: North

The Arctic Ocean is located north of Canada. While Canada is a relatively large country spanning from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, the Arctic Ocean is situated above Canada's northernmost boundary. Therefore, options A, B, and C are all incorrect as they indicate a direction other than north. Option A is south, which would mean that the Arctic Ocean is below Canada, towards the United States. Option B is east, which would mean that the Arctic Ocean is on the opposite side of Canada, towards Europe and Russia. Option C is west, which would mean that the Arctic Ocean is on the opposite side of Canada, towards China and Asia. Therefore, the only correct option is D, which correctly identifies the Arctic Ocean as being north of Canada.
