{'african continent': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'sierra leone': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'mauritania': [0, 0, 3, 0], 'countries': [1, 0, 2, 6], 'costa rica': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'togo': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 3, Costa Rica. Costa Rica is not located in the African continent.

Option 1, Togo, is indeed a country in Africa. It is located in West Africa, bordered by Ghana to the west and Benin to the east.

Option 2, Sierra Leone, is also a country in Africa. It is located on the west coast of Africa and is bordered by Guinea to the north and east and Liberia to the southeast.

Option 4, Mauritania, is also located in Africa. It is situated in Northwest Africa, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and Algeria to the northeast.

Therefore, the only option that does not belong to Africa is option 3, Costa Rica. Costa Rica is located in Central America, bordered by Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south.
