Solution

The correct option is C 8.8° N, 80.2° W
The latitudinal extent of South America spans between 12° N and 55° S, while its longitudinal extent is from 35° W to 81° W. Similarly, North America extends from 7° N to 84° N latitudes and is located between the 53° W and 180° W longitudes. The Isthmus of Panama connects the two continents and therefore, will fall roughly between the two coordinates.
