Why the answer is A, and why the others tempt you.
The Jos Plateau is located approximately between latitudes 8°N and 10°N and longitudes 8°E and 10°E in north-central Nigeria, corresponding to Plateau State and its surroundings. The other coordinate ranges place the feature in incorrect regions of Nigeria or outside the country entirely.
