Answer 2

C. Berber

Step-by-step explanation:

The Berber people are the people that are considered to be native to Northern Africa. There are evidence that the Berbers lived in this region several thousands of years B.C. The Berbers were occupying most of what is Northern Africa, as well as the northernmost portions of Western and Central Africa.

The descendants of these people are considered to be the Tuareg people. These people have managed to keep lot of their tradition despite being converted into Islam, and they also have kept the nomadic lifestyle.

The Berbers, now Tuareg people, are very often referred to as ''blue people'', with the reason behind it being the color of their clothing, which is indigo blue. Despite being assimilated and pushed on the margins, these people still manage to survive and seems that they will be able to keep their culture for much longer time, especially because they often live in relative isolation in the deserts.
