The correct answer is B) 10° N latitude.

The 10-degree Channel is a water body that separates the Andaman Islands group from the Nicobar Islands group.

Specifically, the 10° N latitude passes between Little Andaman Island to the north and Car Nicobar Island to the south, marking the geographical division between the Andaman and Nicobar groups of islands. Other channels like the Duncan Passage separate Great Andaman from Little Andaman (around 10.5° N), and the Great Channel separates Great Nicobar from Sumatra, Indonesia (around 6° N).
