A nitpick but I’m wondering if “car via underwater tunnel” is a correct mode of transport. You can’t drive your car through the Eurotunnel, it’s a train that transports your car. Like, if you take your car over on a ferry I wouldn’t say that the mode of transport between countries was car via sea. I guess you can stay in your car on Le Shuttle though.

Anyway fun quiz :)
