Answer 1

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

I would say the correct answer is b. Maps can help us see that Europeans were unwilling to give up their African colonies. Borders on the African continent were not developed in a natural and gradual political process. They were artificially drawn in the colonial period, when European powers were competing over resources, without any regards for African geography, its ethnic structures, or the will of its native populations.
