Question

a the part of africa that extends out into the indian ocean
b the part of africa that includes the sahara and the sahel
c the part of africa that borders the atlantic ocean
d the part of africa that is south of the sahara

Explanation:

Sub - Saharan Africa is defined as the part of Africa that lies south of the Sahara Desert. Option A describes a part extending into the Indian Ocean (likely East Africa), Option B includes the Sahara and Sahel (which are not part of Sub - Saharan Africa as Sub - Saharan is south of Sahara), Option C borders the Atlantic Ocean (could be West Africa but not the definition of Sub - Saharan), and Option D states it is the part of Africa south of the Sahara, which matches the definition.

Answer:

D. the part of Africa that is south of the Sahara
