Who are the earliest known inhabitants of Antarctica?

Correct option is C

Millions of years ago, Antarctica was warm and covered with forests, home to dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. Fossil evidence suggests that dinosaurs roamed Antarctica during the Mesozoic Era (around 250 to 66 million years ago) when the continent was part of the supercontinent Gondwana.
Information Booster: · Antarctica was once warm and supported a variety of life forms.
· Dinosaurs like Cryolophosaurus lived there during the Jurassic period.
· Fossils of ancient plants, including fossilized forests, have been found.
· The continent gradually became a frozen desert due to shifting tectonic plates.
· Today, Antarctica is uninhabited except for research stations.
· The first human explorers arrived in the 19th century.
Additional Information: · "American Scientists" were among the first researchers in Antarctica but were not the earliest inhabitants.
· "It has always been a desert" is incorrect because Antarctica was once a warm land with forests.
· "Indian Scientists" contributed significantly to Antarctic research, especially through India's Antarctic Program, but they were not the earliest inhabitants.
