The correct answer is - D. The Tigris-Euphrates River is fed by seasonal rainy area of the Ethiopian Highlands.

The Tigris-Euphrates Rivers are exclusively Asian rivers and they do not have any point that passes through the African continent, or in this case more specifically the Ethiopian Highlands in East Africa. Both Tigris and Euphrates are rivers that start their flows from the highlands in Turkey and Iran, and the main contributor to their water flows are the melting snows from the high mountains in these parts, and the occasional rains that appear there.
