{'equatorial belt': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'continent': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'south america': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'largest area': [0, 1, 4, 7], 'asia': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'africa': [16, 2, 7, 16], 'north america': [10, 2, 9, 9]}

The correct answer is option 3, Africa.

Option 1, Asia, is not the correct answer because while Asia is a large continent, it is not primarily located in the equatorial belt. The equatorial belt refers to the region near the equator, which is characterized by warm temperatures and high levels of rainfall.

Option 2, South America, is not the correct answer either. While South America does have a portion that lies in the equatorial belt, it is not the largest continent within this region.

Option 4, North America, is also not the correct answer. North America is mainly located in the temperate zone, meaning it is not primarily in the equatorial belt.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, Africa. Africa is home to a significant portion of land in the equatorial belt, with countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and Kenya located within this region. These countries, along with others in Africa, experience tropical climates and are known for their lush rainforests.
