Answer:

C, 1,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Africa is a continent where a diversity of languages is spoken. There are an estimated 1500 to 2000 African languages.

There are divided into six major language families: Afroasiatic, Austronesian, Indo-European, Nigro-Congo and Nilo-Saharan.

There is also a wide variety of local dialects spoken and understood by few tribes/communities only. According to a research, there are about 12 dialect clusters on the African continent. Many Africans are bilingual and use a different language at home and a different one in dealing with official matters.
