Correct answer: D
The term 'largest airport' can refer to different metrics such as land area, passenger traffic, or terminal size. The largest airport in the world by land area is King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, covering about 776 square kilometers. Dubai International Airport is one of the busiest airports by international passenger traffic and has the world's largest terminal by floor space, but it is not the largest airport overall by land area or total passenger traffic. The busiest airport by total passenger traffic in 2024 is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the USA. Therefore, none of the given options (New York airport, Frankfurt airport, Dubai Airport) is the largest airport in the world by the broadest definition. Hence, the correct answer is 'D' (None of these).
