Hint: Malawi is a landlocked country in southern Africa that was originally known as Nyasaland. Its official name is the Republic of Malawi. It is bordered on the west by Zambia, on the north and northeast by Tanzania, and on the east, south, and southwest by Mozambique.

Complete answer:
Option A: This is the correct option because Malawi's capital and most populous city, Lilongwe, is located in Africa. According to the 2018 Census, it has a population of 989,318 people, up from 674,448 in 2008. By 2020, the figure would have risen to 1,122,000.

The city is located in Malawi's central area, in the same-named district, close to the Mozambique and Zambia borders and it serves as a vital commercial and transportation crossroads in central Malawi. The Lilongwe River inspired the name.
