Which continent has the most land area?

Which continent has the most land area?

• A. Africa
• B. Asia
• C. Europe
• D. North America

Answer: (B)

Asia is the largest continent by land area. It covers about 44.6 million square kilometers (roughly 17.2 million square miles), which is more land than any other continent. For comparison, Africa is about 30 million square kilometers, North America around 24–25 million, and Europe about 10 million. So, when the question asks which continent has the most land area, Asia is the best answer because its total surface devoted to land exceeds the others. (Population is a separate point—the continent with the most people is a different fact.)
