D. None of these

Answer 1

Hint:
- The southernmost continent of the Earth is Antarctica.
- It is said to be the fifth-largest continent and almost twice the size of Australia.
- Its 98% area is covered by Ice.

Complete answer:
Australia- Australia is 3860 kilometers long from its most northerly point to its most southerly point in Tasmania, and is almost 4000 kilometers wide, from east to west.
Africa- Africa is a continent with 63 territorial regions, the first of the great southward projections from the main land mass of the Planet.
 South America- The nearest continent to Antarctica is South America, which is shared between Argentina and Chile. Argentina's Vice Comodoro Marambio station is situated at the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, 1238 km south of Ushuaia (the southern-most region of Argentina). Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent, and all continents have the highest average elevation. The Antarctic temperature has reached -128.6 ° F to -135.8 ° F as estimated from space, while the average is (-81 ° F) for the third quarter (the coldest part of the year).
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note:
- Antarctica is found in the Antarctic area of the Southern Hemisphere, nearly completely south of the Antarctic Circle and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean, and includes the geographic South Pole.
- In Antarctica, people from all around the world conduct research, but Antarctica is not owned by any single country via Antarctic Treaty scheme, Antarctica is controlled internationally.
