Detailed Solution
The Congo Basin is the second-largest rainforest in the world and a vital ecosystem. It spans across several Central African countries. The six main countries that are part of the Congo Basin are Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon.
Nigeria, South Sudan, and Uganda are located in other regions of Africa and are not considered part of the Congo Basin. Therefore, Cameroon is the correct answer.
