Correct option is C
The Caspian Sea, the world's largest enclosed inland body of water, is bordered by five countries:
• Russia (to the northwest): Russia has the longest coastline along the Caspian Sea, with its territories stretching from the northwest down to the northern shores of the sea.
• Kazakhstan (to the northeast): Kazakhstan shares a significant portion of the northeastern coastline of the Caspian Sea. The country has rich oil and gas reserves in its Caspian coastal areas.
• Turkmenistan (to the southeast): Turkmenistan borders the southeastern part of the Caspian Sea. Like Kazakhstan, it has abundant energy resources, including oil and natural gas fields along its Caspian shore.
• Iran (to the south): Iran's coastline is along the southern part of the Caspian Sea. The Iranian portion is vital for the country's fishing industry and some oil reserves.
• Azerbaijan (to the southwest): Azerbaijan, situated in the southwest, has a significant coastline along the Caspian Sea. Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, is a major city located on the coast, and the country is known for its extensive oil fields in the Caspian region.
Uzbekistan, however, does not share a border with the Caspian Sea. It is a landlocked country located to the east of Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan but does not have direct access to the Caspian Sea.
