The correct answer is (A) Madagascar.
In 2021, the United Nations warned about severe drought conditions in Southern Madagascar, directly linking the resulting food crisis and ‘famine-like conditions’ to climate change, describing it as potentially the world’s first famine caused by the climate crisis.
