Correct answer: B. Only two

The North Sea is bounded by the UK, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France. From the given list: GERMANY has a North Sea coastline (around Hamburg, Bremen, Kiel approach) and NORWAY has a North Sea coastline along its entire south-west (Stavanger, Bergen).
