Which body of water separates Stewart Island / Rakiura from the South Island, and is notorious for its treacherous conditions that have claimed many ships since the 19th century?

• A Foveaux Strait ✓
• B Cook Strait

Foveaux Strait, 28 kilometres wide at its narrowest, is swept by strong tidal currents and the prevailing westerly winds of the Roaring Forties, making the crossing to Stewart Island notoriously rough.
