Explanation
The 50° South latitude passes through the southern part of South America, specifically intersecting the Patagonian region of Argentina (Santa Cruz Province) and Chile. The vast majority of this parallel lies over the Southern Ocean.
- South Africa: Its southernmost point, Cape Agulhas, is located at approximately 34.8° S, far north of the 50° S line.
- Australia: The mainland ends at roughly 39° S, and even the southernmost point of Tasmania reaches only about 43.6° S.
- Uruguay: It is situated between approximately 30° S and 35° S.
Since Argentina's territory extends significantly further south (reaching approximately 55° S in Tierra del Fuego), it is the correct answer.
