Explanation:

To determine the highlighted ocean, we analyze the map:

• The Southern Ocean surrounds Antarctica (the white - shaded continent at the bottom). The highlighted blue area at the bottom, surrounding Antarctica, matches the Southern Ocean's location.
• The Indian Ocean is between Africa, Asia, and Australia, which is not the highlighted area here.
• The Pacific Ocean is on the east of Asia and west of the Americas, not the bottom - most highlighted area.
• The Atlantic Ocean is between the Americas and Europe/Africa, also not the bottom - most highlighted area.

the Southern Ocean
