Answer 2

C. the Alps

Step-by-step explanation:

Europe is officially one of the seven continents, though geographically it is not actually a continent, but part of Eurasia. The division has been made because of several reasons, mostly political, racial, cultural, and religious.

The continent is in the shape of a very large peninsula, so it is bordering sea waters on three of its sides, and on only one side its boundary is land.

• The southern geographic boundary of Europe is the Mediterranean Sea, separating it from Africa.
• The western boundary is the North Atlantic Ocean, which stands between Europe and North America.
• The northern boundary is the Arctic Ocean, which also separates Europe from North America.
• The only land boundary is on the east, that being the Ural Mountains, separating Europe from Asia.
