A. Europeans had no interest in or concern for African cultural divisions.

Answer 2

The right answer is:

Europeans had no interest in or concern for African cultural divisions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Setting colonial boundaries in Africa served only the narrow, selfish economic interests of European powers. Britain and France set limits to their colonial possessions without caring about dividing lands where one ethnic group with its own language and culture lived. Why should they care? They saw Africans and racially and culturally inferior.
