According to Tosfos, The correct answer is # 5 "none of
the above
The Bnei Yisroel did not cross the Yam Suf and
emerge on the other side .
Rather, when they arrived at the Sea they were surrounded on
all sides by the
Mitzrim. Hashem opened up a path for them in the Yam to
bypass them and
emerge on the same bank of the Yam Suf,.(further
south).
