The correct option is C. North Sudan is not a Mediterranean country.
– The Mediterranean Sea is bordered by countries in Southern Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia.
– Tunisia (A), Libya (B), and Egypt (D) are all located on the North African coast and border the Mediterranean Sea.
– Sudan (specifically North Sudan after the division) is located south of Egypt and has a coastline on the Red Sea, not the Mediterranean Sea.
The Mediterranean countries include countries like Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Malta, and Cyprus, among others. Being located on the Red Sea, Sudan is geographically distinct from the Mediterranean basin.
