Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B North America
D South America

North America and South America together are often called the “New World”. The label came about in the wake of European voyages across the Atlantic Ocean. The Europeans discovered these two continents only in the late 15th century. So, to the Europeans, these lands were new compared to the older civilisations.
