Answer 1

Based on your description of the map, Region C is located in South Africa. The ecosystems present in South Africa are primarily made up of grasslands (also known as savannas), temperate forests, and fynbos, rather than deserts or rainforests.

Now, let's analyze the options:

A. the Sahara Desert - This is located in the north of Africa, not in South Africa. B. the Sahel - This region lies just south of the Sahara, not in the southern part of Africa. C. the Namib Desert - This is located in Namibia, which is on the western side of southern Africa, but is not the primary ecosystem in South Africa. D. the Congo rainforest - This is located in Central Africa, not in South Africa.

Since none of the options directly match the primary ecosystems found in South Africa, none of the answers is outright correct. However, if we interpret Region C strictly based on the given options and their locations:

The best answer regarding South Africa's diverse ecosystems, from the given options, would still be C (the Namib Desert), but it is important to note that the primary ecosystem of South Africa is not the Namib Desert itself.

In conclusion, based on your question, if C specifically represents South Africa, then none of the options is completely correct, but C (Namib Desert) is the closest, or if you're seeking a direct answer, I'd suggest noting that none of the options pertain accurately to Region C.
