Answer:

Explanation:

THE ANSWER IS B

=================================================================

A - Ottoman was not going to strike Britain's mainland especially because they were stuck in the mediterranean sea because of the British occupation of Gibraltar.

B - Russia's only way of getting supply was from the sea through the black sea. The problem was Ottoman occupied the entrance to the black sea and can be easily blockaded. This is why they tried to capture the Dardenelles.  

C - They were known as the sick man of Europe. They were nowhere near as powerful as the British Navy.

D - Again they threatened the Suez Canal but they were not much of a threat as they instantly stopped the Ottoman advances.
