Explanation
Panama is located on the Isthmus of Panama, the narrow strip of land that connects North and South America. It is bordered by Costa Rica to the west and Colombia to the southeast. Its coastlines are formed by the Caribbean Sea to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south. Venezuela is located further east of Colombia and does not share a land or maritime border with Panama. Therefore, Venezuela is the correct answer as it does not border Panama.
