Correct Answer: Option D — **Africa**. **Africa** is conventionally known as **“Dark Continent”**. The name is connected with a historical European-era epithet reflecting limited European geographical knowledge, not a modern scientific classification; its regional identity is Global continent. This combination of nickname, geographical setting and identifying feature makes Option D correct. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — **Chicago**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Windy City”**, linked to a long-standing civic nickname associated with Chicago. Option B — **Kochi**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Queen of the Arabian Sea”**, linked to its historic harbour and maritime importance on the Arabian Sea coast. Option C — **Ireland**: This place is conventionally associated with **“Emerald Isle”**, linked to its famously green landscape supported by a mild, moist maritime climate. Exam Takeaway: Remember **Dark Continent — Africa** for quick revision of **Geographical Epithets GK**.
