Answer 2

The correct answer is letter A.

Explanation: European imperialism in Africa occurred throughout the nineteenth century.

Until 1876, 10.8% of the African territory was in the possession of settlers. Already in 1900, the European domain corresponded to 90.4%.

At first European exploitation was scattered along the coast, with strong trading posts that ensured slave trade. The first large-scale domination began with France and Great Britain.
