Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Let’s look at each part of the sentence:

  1. “the U.S.A”

    • Correct: We use "the" before countries whose names are descriptive or plural (e.g., the United States of America, the Netherlands, the Philippines).

  2. “the Atlantic Ocean”

    • Correct: Always use "the" before names of oceans, seas, rivers, and deserts (e.g., the Pacific Ocean, the Red Sea, the Nile).

  3. “to Europe”

    • Correct: We do not use "the" before continents or most countries (e.g., to Africa, to Europe, to France).
