Answer:

A Chokepoint is refers to an area that causes a traffic congestion because it is narrow.

In Oceans and seas this is caused by the land surrounding the body of water being so close together that the passage is small.

Some choke points have very significant political and national importance attached to them and so are often the subject of much attention.

- The Strait of Hormuz

Red Sea

- Bab al-Mandab Strait

- Suez Canal

Black Sea
