The answer is C. an unoccupied territory.

Due to its harsh climate, Antartica is non-ecumene, meaning it is uninhabited by people. Although it is unoccupied, several countries signed a treaty, each country holding territorial claims to different parts of Antarctica, some territories overlapping.

Hope this helps! :)
