Explanation

Option (b) is correct because Albania borders the Adriatic Sea, Kazakhstan is a littoral state of the Caspian Sea, and Morocco has a coastline along the Mediterranean Sea. Pairs 2 and 5 are incorrect because Croatia borders the Adriatic Sea (not the Black Sea) and Syria borders the Mediterranean Sea (not the Red Sea).
