Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct matching of deserts to their respective countries is as follows: The Kalahari Desert is a large semi-arid sandy savannah covering much of Botswana and parts of Namibia and South Africa [t2][t7]. The Namib Desert is a coastal desert extending along the Atlantic coast of Namibia, South Africa, and Angola [t1][t4]. The Nubian Desert is located in the eastern region of the Sahara Desert, primarily within the borders of Sudan and between the Nile and the Red Sea [t7]. The Atacama Desert is a hyper-arid plateau in South America, primarily located in northern Chile and extending into Peru [c3][t6]. Therefore, the correct sequence is A-3 (Kalahari-Botswana), B-1 (Namib-Angola), C-2 (Nubian-Sudan), and D-4 (Atacama-Chile), which corresponds to option 4.
