The Central African Federation comprised Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia, and Nyasaland, now Malawi. The correct answer to the question is both Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland.

Step-by-step explanation:

The countries included in the Central African Federation were Northern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, and Southern Rhodesia.
