Answer and explanation
Correct Answer: A: Sahara
Explanation: The correct answer is the Sahara, which covers approximately 9.2 million square kilometers. The Sahara is located in North Africa and is the world's largest hot desert. Options like the Gobi and Mojave are incorrect because they are smaller in terms of land area, with the Gobi covering around 1.3 million square kilometers and the Mojave covering around 50,000 square kilometers. The Sahara 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 global geography.
