A
Correct answer
Explanation
Antarctica was the last continent discovered by Europeans, first sighted in 1820. While Australia/Oceania was discovered earlier (17th century), Antarctica's harsh conditions and remoteness meant it wasn't confirmed until the 19th century. It remains the only continent without a native human population.
