A Correct answer
Explanation

Africa has historically been called the Dark Continent, a term dating back to the 19th century reflecting European unfamiliarity with the continent's interior. This nickname, now considered outdated and potentially pejorative, referred to the lack of knowledge about Africa's geography among Europeans at the time. Denmark, Austria, and Korea are all in Europe or Asia, not associated with this nickname.
