Answer:

Option: B) Arab and Swahili

Step-by-step explanation:

Africa is a diverse continent made of several countries and a variety of ethnic groups. Arabs refer to an ethnic group who speak Arabic. Many Arabs practice Islam and primarily live in North Africa. Arabs were responsible for spreading Islam in the African continent through conducting trades.

The Swahili ethnic group develop in Africa in the region of East coast when Arab traders began to settle there for the benefit from trade. The result of Swahili culture is a mix of people between Arabians and Bantu speaking population.
