What continent goes through three of the important parallels of latitude?

It's tough to figure out what this question is getting at, because there are
an infinite number of parallels of latitude, not three.
I'm going to take a wild guess: The question is referring to the three parallels
that have names and are grouped in the middle of the globe, where they're most
noticeable . . . the Equator, the Tropic of Cancer, and the Tropic of Capricorn.
All three of those parallels cross the continent of Africa.
You're welcome. And if that's not the intent of the question, then it seems to me
that the question is otherwise quite meaningless.
