Explanation:

The Bosporus (also known as Bosphorus) is a strait that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, and through the Dardanelles (which connects the Sea of Marmara to the Mediterranean Sea), it forms the waterway connecting the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. So the correct term to fill in the blank is "Bosporus" (or "Bosphorus", but the given input is "Bosporus" which is correct in terms of the geographical feature connecting these seas via the associated waterways).

Bosporus
