Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the options. The circled area's first part: The Horn of Africa is the peninsula - shaped region in East Africa, matching the circled area. The second part (triangle) likely shows the Ethiopian Highlands? Wait, no, let's check options. Option B: First blank "Great Rift Valley" no, Option B's first is Great Rift Valley? Wait no, re - read. Wait the options:

A. Ethiopian Highlands... Horn of Africa

B. Great Rift Valley... Horn of Africa
