Answer:

The answer is D. The belief that spirits inhabit objects in nature

Step-by-step explanation:

This is directly from PF reading material. The answer is in the second to last sentence.

"There were many different religions and religious beliefs among people who lived on the African continent. The same is true today. Many of the religions practiced in Africa were extremely localized, with great variation among different mini-states. While there were different specific religious practices and beliefs, there's one thing local religions had in common: animism. Animism refers to the idea that spiritual beings could inhabit physical objects. Animist religions often see objects in nature and their ancestors as having spiritual importance."
