Which of the following countries is located in two continents?
Istanbul is a large city within the boundary of Turkey. However, the Bosphorus Strait divides the city into two parts, one of which is located in Asia, another being a part of Europe. That means that both the country and its main cultural center occupy two continents.
Istanbul is typically considered a European city. The two sides of the city differ from each other: the European part is usually busy, as more business organizations are located there, and the Asian side is calmer and quieter, with a lot of parks, squares and alleys.

The question asked "which of the following countries" and only one on the list is correct. I am not sure why people are confused.

But not on the list, so, it doesn't apply

The question doesn't imply the answer is the only country, just which of the ones listed is part of two continents.

The question doesn’t ask, “Which is the only country located in two continents? It asks which country from the following choices. Russia and Panama were not listed as a possible answer. Lol
