Identify the geographic scope

The question asks about the physical characteristics of Oceania and Australia. We need to evaluate the options regarding continents and islands.

Analyze continental characteristics

Using our knowledge of Oceania Geography, Australia is the only landmass classified as a continent in this region. Oceania is a geographic region, not a continent itself. Therefore, the region contains only one continent (Australia), making options A and B incorrect.

Analyze island count

Oceania is famous for its vast number of islands scattered across the Pacific Ocean. The region contains an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 islands, divided into Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. This matches option D.
