Red Book

[B] 2 only

[C] Both 1 and 2

[D] Neither 1 nor 2

Answer: C
Notes:

Exp) Option c is the correct answer.

Statement 1 is correct. The Red Sea receives very little precipitation in any form. The majority of the Red Sea coastline, both east and west, receives less than 250 mm of rainfall annually and is therefore classified as desert.

Statement 2 is correct. The Red Sea exchanges its water only with the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean. Unlike most seas, no rivers flow into it.
