Sakhalin island is claimed by both _____ and _____.
  1. China and South Korea
  2. Russia and Japan
  3. Cyprus and Malta
  4. England and France
Answer: Option B
Explanation: Sakhalin Island is claimed by both Russia and Japan. In 1855, an agreement was signed by which Russia and Japan shared control of the island equally. But in 1875 Russia acquired whole Sakhalin island in exchange for the Kuril islands.
Sakhalin has large oil and gas reserves, so both countries are fighting for their control over Sakhalin.
