A Correct answer
Explanation

Antarctica has the smallest permanent population of any continent, with only researchers and support staff living there temporarily (around 1,000-5,000 people depending on the season). While Australia has the smallest total population of the inhabited continents, Antarctica's lack of permanent residents makes it the correct answer for 'smallest populated.'
