Detailed Solution

The correct option is 2nd, as the peninsula is a landmass surrounded by an ocean on three sides. Although it is surrounded by water for most of its length, it is connected to a mainland from which it grows. In nature, the surrounding water is continuous and does not have to be confined to a particular body of water. A peninsula is known by several names, including headland, cape, point, fork, spit, etc. The name "Paine insula" comes from the Latin phrase "paene insula," which means "nearly an island." Florida is the most visible peninsula in the United States. Peninsulas are often short, slender spits of land. Europe is commonly referred to as a huge peninsula as a whole. In addition to this, India is also a peninsular country that the Indian Ocean surrounds (in the south), Arabian Sea (in the West), and Bay of Bengal (in the East).
