A Congo
B New Zealand
C India

One of about 90 locations in New Zealand to have an official dual name, Milford Sound/Piopiotahi holds significance to the Indigenous Māori people, so the Māori name is joined with the English one. Not only is it tied to an important legend, but early tribes also used the land for hunting and fishing. It was also an important area for collecting precious pounamu stone used for trade, carving, and weaponry.

The correct answer to this quiz is New Zealand.
