   Answer: (2) 2

   उत्तर: (2) 2

   Kharg, Iran's main oil-export terminal, is in the Persian Gulf, and Vaan is one of the islands of the Gulf of Mannar Marine National Park off Thoothukudi, so I and II are correct. Tuti is a river island at the confluence of the Blue and White Nile in Khartoum (not the Red Sea), and Qeshm lies in the Strait of Hormuz (not the Arabian Sea), so only two pairs match.
