C. Bolivia lost its only seacoast to neighboring Chile during a war from 1879 to 1883 and the nation has demanded ocean access for generations.

D. Peru and Chile separate Bolivia from the Pacific, the closest sea to the landlocked nation.

B. Paraguay and Bolivia are the only landlocked countries in the Americas. Paraguay is bordered by Argentina to the south and southwest, Brazil to the east and northeast, and Bolivia to the northwest.
