Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
The use of the preposition "in" is not appropriate in describing the location of one continent relative to another. To correctly convey the location of Africa with respect to Europe, we should use the preposition "to" in this context.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Africa is to the south of Europe.
