Answer 1

A. It is the second smallest continent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Australia is actually the smallest continent, so it isn't option C.

The largest continent is Asia, and this is common knowledge. Asia is gigantic.

The second largest, also most likely common knowledge, is Africa.

In order, we still have North America, South America, and Antarctica. All larger than Europe.
