Why this is the correct answer

The English Channel separates the southern coast of England from northern France, at its narrowest point just 34 kilometres wide at the Strait of Dover. It is one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. The Channel Tunnel, opened in 1994, runs beneath it to connect England and France by rail.
