Answer and explanation
Correct Answer: A: Algeria
Explanation: The correct answer is Algeria, which covers approximately 2.4 million square kilometers. Algeria has a long history, with the city of Algiers dating back to the 10th century. Options like Egypt and South Africa are incorrect because they are smaller in terms of land area, with Egypt covering 1 million square kilometers and South Africa covering 1.2 million square kilometers. Algeria is also home to several important natural resources, including oil and natural gas. This topic appears frequently in FPSC, CSS, and NTS general knowledge papers to test knowledge of African geography.
