B Correct answer
Explanation

Africa is historically called 'The Dark Continent' by European explorers due to its mysterious and unexplored interior in the 19th century. This nickname reflected European limited knowledge about Africa's geography, cultures, and resources rather than actual darkness. The term is now considered outdated and carries colonial connotations. Asia, Australia, and America are not called by this name.
