D Correct answer
Explanation

Antarctica has no indigenous human population - it is the only continent with no native inhabitants. The continent is governed by the Antarctic Treaty System and is used for scientific research. All people currently in Antarctica are researchers and support staff from various nations, temporarily residing there. Terms like 'Eskimos' refer to Arctic indigenous peoples, not Antarctic.
