Which one of the following pairs is correctly matched? Geographical Feature Region

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Atlas Mountains are correctly matched with North-Western Africa. They form a series of mountain ranges that serve as the geological backbone for the Maghreb countries, including Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. Other pairs are incorrectly matched: the Abyssinian Plateau (or Ethiopian Highlands) is located in the Horn of Africa, primarily covering Ethiopia and Eritrea, rather than Arabia [2]. The Guiana Highlands are situated in northeastern South America, covering parts of Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil, and Colombia, not South-Western Africa. The Okavango Basin is an endorheic basin located in Southern Africa, shared by Angola, Namibia, and Botswana, whereas Patagonia is a region in southern South America. Therefore, only the Atlas Mountains pairing is geographically accurate.
