Landlocked?

Hi all,

I have a test question about prepositions. Here it is:

Vatican city, landlocked ---- the city of Rome, is the smallest independent state in the world ---- approximately 44 hectares of land.

A to / by

B within / with

C by / from

D from / above

E with / for

I think either a or b is the correct answer but I'm not sure. What do you think? I need an explanation.

B Vatican city, landlocked within the city of Rome, is the smallest independent state in the world with approximately 44 hectares of land. Second preposition (by). This means that the next smallest country has about 44 hectares of land more than Vatican City.
