Answer: a) A landmass

Step-by-step explanation:

A continent is composed of several huge land masses, a characteristic that differentiates it from the islands or peninsulas.

It should be noted that the sum of the total areas of the Earth's continents is about 148 million square kilometers of land. In addition, the continents constitute most (but not all) of the Earth's land surface.
