The correct response is:

**prorupted state, which gives it access to extensive coastal resources.**

Thailand has a long extension along the Malay Peninsula, which is characteristic of a prorupted state. This configuration allows Thailand to access coastal areas, providing opportunities for fishing and trade, as well as potential exploration of marine resources.
