    • A) Atacama Desert
    • B) Sonoran Desert
    • C) Namib Desert

    Answer: Patagonian Desert

    Explanation: The Patagonian Desert, located in southern Argentina east of the Andes, is South America's largest desert at about 673,000 km² and is classified as a cold desert. The Atacama in contrast is the driest (non-polar) desert, not a cold desert per se.
