A	the South China Sea
B	the United States
C	the Mediterranean Ocean
D	the Middle East

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The deployment comes as the US military bolsters its presence in the region in an effort to deter China, which is undergoing a rapid modernization and expansion of its own military and nuclear capabilities.

Detailed explanation-2: -The purpose of these operations is to ensure all nations retain their unrestricted sea transit rights as spelled out under UNCLOS. As such, FONOPS send an overt message – the US has the right to sail its warships through the South China Sea because UNCLOS permits it.

Detailed explanation-3: -The freedom of navigation operation (“FONOP”) upheld the rights, freedoms, and lawful uses of the sea recognized in international law by challenging restrictions on innocent passage imposed by the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Vietnam, and Taiwan.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Chinese military has said it tracked a US warship that sailed through disputed waters in the South China Sea, accusing it of “provocative actions” and warning of “serious consequences”.
