Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Ten Degree Channel.
The waterbody that separates the Andaman Islands and the Nicobar Islands is called the Ten Degree Channel. This channel is located in the Bay of Bengal and is approximately 150 kilometers (93 miles) wide. It divides the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago into two distinct groups of islands. The Andaman Islands lie to the north of the Ten Degree Channel, while the Nicobar Islands are to the south. The channel's name comes from the fact that it lies roughly along the 10° North latitude.
