Explanation:

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was the largest and most ecologically destructive U.S. oil spill of the 20th/21st century, releasing massive amounts of oil that devastated marine and coastal ecosystems. The other options: Bay of Biscay is in Europe, Chesapeake Bay had no major 20th-century U.S. spill of this scale, and Prince William Sound's Exxon Valdez spill (1989) was significant but smaller in volume than the Gulf of Mexico spill.
