The correct answer is D. The southern tip of South America is closest to Antarctica.

Explanation:

South America, at its southern end, the Strait of Magellan in Chile, is at a short distance from Antarctica. Both continents are separated by the Drake Passage, a portion of sea at the junction of the South Atlantic Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean. This Passage separates both continents, which are about 500 miles away from each other.
