Correct answer: D
Answer: Danube : Asia is the wrong pair.
Explanation: Each pair lists a river and a continent; check where each river actually flows.
Rhine — Europe. The Rhine originates in the Swiss Alps and flows through countries such as Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands.
Thames — Europe. The Thames flows through southern England, including London.
Nile — Africa. The Nile flows north through northeastern Africa (for example, Sudan and Egypt).
