Explanation:

To determine the country at \(15^\circ\text{S}\) and \(15^\circ\text{E}\), we analyze the map:

• Latitude \(15^\circ\text{S}\) is south of the Equator, in southern Africa.
• Longitude \(15^\circ\text{E}\) falls near the \(15^\circ\text{E}\) meridian.
• Checking countries:
• Angola: Located in southern Africa, near \(15^\circ\text{S}\) and \(15^\circ\text{E}\) (matches the coordinates).
• Chad: Northern Africa, far from \(15^\circ\text{S}\).
• Senegal: Western Africa, north of the Equator.
• Sudan: Northeastern Africa, north of the Equator.

Answer:

A. Angola
