Answer:

Option B

Atlas Mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this right, we need to carefully observe the map, and use the position of the longitude and latitude given to us, to determine the actual location we are intended to point out. (30° N latitude, 0° longitude?)

Please note that the latitudes run horizontally (from left to right), while the longitudes run vertically (from top to bottom).

We can trace the horizontal lines from the left, to see the line with the 30 degrees value attached to it. (Hint: It can be found at the Northern portion of the map)

We can trace the vertical lines from the right, to see the line with the 0 degrees value attached to it. (Hint: It can be found at the bottom - left portion of the map).

Tracing these two lines, we will find out that they intersect at a region which is called the Atlas Mountains
