Which set of floral morphological characteristics is most representative of the climax vegetation in these African Mediterranean zones?

Arrange the following major dams built along the Nile River and its main tributaries in sequence from upstream (near the river's headwaters) to downstream (towards its outlet at the Mediterranean Sea).

The relief of Southern Africa is dominated by high interior plateaus fringed by elevated highlands. Unlike the folded structure of the Atlas Mountains in Northwest Africa, how is the Drakensberg range structurally classified in terms of landform origin?

Plants inhabiting the Mediterranean vegetation zone of Africa—located along the northernmost coast and in the southwestern Cape region—must survive prolonged summer drought conditions followed by mild, rainy winters. Which of the following sets of structural adaptations is characteristic of the sclerophyllous plants dominating this vegetation zone?

A trans-African infrastructure corridor is planned along the line of the Equator ($0^\circ$ latitude), traversing the continent continuously from the Atlantic Ocean on the west to the Indian Ocean on the east. Which of the following lists, in strict geographical order from west to east, the mainland African sovereign nations through which the line of the Equator passes?

Mediterranean agriculture in Africa is predominantly practiced in the South-Western Cape of South Africa and parts of North Africa. Which of the following crop combinations is most characteristic of this agricultural system?

Drainage basin size is a fundamental hydrological characteristic reflecting the total land surface area drained by a river system and its tributaries. Arrange the following major African rivers in descending order of their total catchment (drainage basin) area, starting from the river with the largest basin to the one with the smallest basin.

Among the political divisions of Africa, West Africa contains three landlocked nations that lack direct access to an ocean or sea. Which of the following combinations correctly identifies all three landlocked West African countries?
