Explanation:
Option (a) is incorrect because while the Canary Islands do form an autonomous community of Spain with Santa Cruz de Tenerife as one of its capitals, they are located in the North Atlantic Ocean, not the Mediterranean Sea.
Option (b) is incorrect because although the Canary Islands are situated in the North Atlantic Ocean and are closer to Africa than Europe, they were formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago, not by tectonic plate movements.
Option (c) is correct. The Canary Islands are Macaronesia's largest and most populated archipelago. Teide Peak on Tenerife rises to 12,198 feet (3,718 meters), making it the highest point on Spanish soil.
Option (d) is incorrect because the Canary Islands have a subtropical climate with temperatures that show little seasonal variation, not a continental climate with significant seasonal variations. Additionally, there are more than five major islands in the archipelago.
