{'continent': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'desert': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'north america': [10, 2, 9, 9], 'asia': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'australia': [27, 3, 32, 29], 'europe': [10, 4, 7, 13], 'world': [24, 6, 12, 21]}

The correct answer is option 2, Europe. Europe is the only continent in the world that does not have a desert.

To better understand this, let`s analyze each option:

1. Australia: Australia is a continent known for its vast deserts, including the famous Great Victoria Desert and the Simpson Desert. Therefore, option 1 is incorrect.

2. Europe: As mentioned earlier, Europe does not have any deserts. It is characterized by a diverse landscape, including mountains, plains, and forests, but no deserts. Therefore, option 2 is the correct answer.

3. Asia: Asia is the largest continent in the world and encompasses various geographical features, including deserts. The continent is home to the Gobi Desert, Thar Desert, and the Arabian Desert, among others. Thus, option 3 is incorrect.

4. North America: North America has several deserts, such as the Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert, and the Chihuahuan Desert. Therefore, option 4 is also incorrect.

In conclusion, Europe is the only continent in the world that lacks a desert.
