CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Pretoria is the administrative capital and the seat of the executive.
Cape Town is the legislative capital, where Parliament sits, and Bloemfontein the judicial one.
Johannesburg is the largest city and is not a capital at all, which is what puts it on the list.

Worth noting

The question is never simply "the capital of South Africa"; it always names which of the three functions it wants, and the answer changes with it.
