C
Pacific Ocean
D
Mississippi River
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: –Edit-The North Pacific, with a chance of crossing into the Bering Sea which is part of the North Pacific.

Detailed explanation-2: -If you stand on a California beach and look out at the ocean–imagining where you’d end up if you travel long enough in a straight line–you might guess Japan. That’s what a simplified map showing what’s across the ocean indicated a few years ago; by latitude, the two places line up.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Pacific Ocean that touches all 1, 000 miles of California shoreline is the Mama & the Papa of the Earth’s oceans.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Okhotsk, the Sea of Japan, and the East China Sea surround Japan. Japan’s coastlines stretch more than 18, 480 miles, and no point anywhere in Japan is more than ninety-three miles from the sea, so maritime resources are accessible almost everywhere in Japan.
