The correct answers are C. Africa, D. Europe, and G. Antarctica

Step-by-step explanation:

This image shows a world map with longitudinal lines (vertical lines) and latitudinal lines (horizontal lines). In this, the longitudes lines are the ones that show the location of places East or West. Moreover, the Prime meridian or line marked with 0° shows the reference to East and West. In this, places to the right of the Prime Meridian are located in the East and those to the left of this line are located to the West.

In this context, the continents with land in both hemispheres are Africa, Europe, and Antarctica because the Prime Meridian crosses from north to south through these continents. For example, in Europe countries such as Spain are to the left of the Prime Meridian (West), while countries such as Norway are in the East or right to Prime Meridian. This also occurs in Africa and Europe because part of these continents is right to the 0° line and part is to the left of this line.
