5. Which continent has 48 countries?
Africa has 54 recognized countries — too many.
Europe has about 44–50 depending on definition — close.
But actually,
Africa is often cited with 54,
Europe with ~44,
Asia with 48–50.
Wait — let’s check:
Actually,
Africa has 54,
Asia has 48–50 (UN says 48 sovereign states),
Europe has 44.
So
Asia is closest to 48.
But wait — some sources say
Africa has 48? No, it’s 54.
Actually,
Europe is sometimes listed as having 48 if you count only UN members or exclude transcontinental ones.
But standard answer for “48 countries” is usually
Africa? Wait — no, Africa has more.
Let me double-check:
According to UN, Africa = 54, Asia = 48, Europe = 44, Americas = 35, Oceania = 14, Antarctica = 0.
So
Asia has 48.
→ Correct answer:
c. Asia
*(Wait — this is tricky. Let’s see what’s commonly taught in Grade 4. Many textbooks say Africa has 54, Asia has 48. So yes, c. Asia.)*
