Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Go through each desert one at a time and place it on the map.

1. Kalahari: found in Southern Africa (Botswana, Namibia, South Africa), so it pairs with Africa (3).
2. Atacama: runs along the Chilean coast in South America and is famous for being extremely arid, so it pairs with South America (1).
3. Thar: also known as the Great Indian Desert, sits in India and Pakistan, so it pairs with Asia (4).
4. Great Victoria Desert: the largest desert in Australia, so it pairs with Australia (2).

Matching each desert to its continent gives A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2, confirming option A as the answer.
