To determine the correct letters for Somalia and Sudan based on the provided description:

  1. East Coast Countries: Countries A, B, C, D, E, and F are located along the east coast of Africa. Since Somalia is located on the eastern coast, it is likely one of these letters.

  2. Sudan's Location: Sudan is situated in northeastern Africa, to the north of South Sudan and east of Egypt. Given this information, Sudan is also likely one of the letters assigned to the countries on the east coast.

  3. Country H: Since H is described as the largest country in the rainforest region, it is not located on the east coast, which rules out possibilities for either Somalia or Sudan.

  4. Country J: J represents the country at the southern tip of Africa, which corresponds to South Africa. This does not relate to Somalia or Sudan.

Considering that Somalia is a country on the eastern coast of Africa generally to the southeast, it is reasonable to associate it with either E or D. Sudan, being further north on the eastern side, would likely correspond to another one of the letters.

Based on the geographical placement of Somalia and Sudan as inferred from their descriptions:

  • Somalia is likely D (since it is often considered lower than Sudan but still on the east coast).
  • Sudan can be reasonably identified as E (as it's higher than Somalia on the map).

Given the options provided:

The best answer is D. E . . . H, where:

  • Somalia is at E and Sudan is at H.

Therefore, the answer is D.
