Answer 1

To analyze the question, we need to identify the rivers based on their locations relative to the countries mentioned.

River A is near the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is most likely the Congo River, as it is the major river in that region.

River B is near Zambia and Zimbabwe, which indicates it is likely the Zambezi River, as it flows through both countries.

With this information, we can conclude:

• River A is the Congo River.
• River B is the Zambezi River.

Thus, the correct answer is:

C. Congo . . . Zambezi
