Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 (A-1, B-3, C-2, D-4) based on the following geographical facts:

  • Baffin Island (A-1): It is the largest island in Canada and part of the Nunavut territory. It is located in the North Atlantic.
  • Celebes (B-3): Also known as Sulawesi, it is one of the four Greater Sunda Islands belonging to Indonesia. It is situated between Borneo and the Moluccas.
  • Greenland (C-2): Geographically part of North America but politically an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. It is the world's largest island.
  • Luzon (D-4): This is the largest and most populous island in the Philippines, housing the capital city, Manila.

Options 1, 2, and 4 are incorrect because they mismatch these sovereign jurisdictions. For instance, Option 1 incorrectly pairs Celebes with Denmark, while Option 2 incorrectly pairs Baffin with the Philippines.
