Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
"on the edge of a small cape that marked the side of the bay away from the promontory was a loose scatter of rocks"
choose the best definition for the word promontory as it is used in this excerpt from doris lessing’s "through the tunnel."
a: a smooth sandy area on a beach
b: careful not to fall and hurt oneself
c: required for swimming in the ocean
d: a piece of land projecting into water

The right answer is the alternative D: a piece of land projecting into water .

The explanation for this is that in geography, a cape, promontory or point is a geographic accident formed by a mass of land that extends by an ocean or sea that is adjacent to it. A cable in general has more importance than a promontory, and often exerts influence on coastal currents and other oceanographic features of its environment. A cable, therefore, is a narrow peninsula.
