    A. True
    Explanation
    Australia is considered an island because it is surrounded by water on all sides. It is the world's largest island and the smallest continent. Despite its vast size, it is completely separated from other landmasses by the surrounding oceans. This isolation has led to the unique biodiversity found in Australia, with many species that are found nowhere else in the world.
