Verified Answer
A. Malaysia/मलेिशया
B. Saudi Arabia/सउदी अरेिबया
C. Taiwan/ताइवान
D. Iraq/इराक

Explanation:

The Suez Canal was blocked in March 2021 by the container ship 'Ever Given'. While the ship was registered in Panama, it was operated by Evergreen Marine Corporation, a Taiwanese shipping company. Therefore, the ship was associated with Taiwan. Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq are not associated with the operation of the 'Ever Given'.
