Which one of the following is the correct sequence of the given Continents in the decreasing order of their percentage of earth’s land?

To solve this question, one must know the relative sizes of the continents by land area. The total land area of the Earth is distributed among the seven continents in the following decreasing order: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. Based on approximate percentages of the worlds total land area: 1. Asia accounts for about 30 percent. 2. Africa accounts for about 20.3 percent. 3. North America accounts for about 16.3 percent. 4. South America accounts for about 12 percent. 5. Antarctica accounts for about 8.9 percent. 6. Europe accounts for about 6.7 percent. 7. Australia accounts for about 5.2 percent. Looking at the options provided, Option B correctly follows this descending sequence: Africa (20.3 percent), North America (16.3 percent), South America (12 percent), and Europe (6.7 percent). Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
