To analyze the locations labeled A, B, C, and D in relation to the specified climate regions and ecosystems in Africa:

  • Region A (pointed to just below the Sahara) corresponds to the Sahel, which is a semi-arid region that lies directly south of the Sahara Desert.
  • Region B (pointed to a region in the middle of Africa) corresponds to the Congo rainforest, which is located in Central Africa.
  • Region C (pointed to South Africa) is linked to the Serengeti, which is not in South Africa but rather in Tanzania. Therefore, this region may not be correctly identified.
  • Region D (pointed to an area near Egypt) is correctly identified as the Sahara Desert, as it is located directly north.

Given this analysis, Regions A, B, and D are identified correctly, while Region C is not correctly identified as it points to the wrong location for the Serengeti.

Thus, the best answer is C. Region A, B, and D only.
