The correct answers are A) African. E) European. F) Native American.

The ancestors of most of the people in Latin America were African, American, and European.

Latinamerican people are a mixture of races and ethnicities.

For instance, in Mexico, most people are "Mestizos," the combination of Spaniards and Native Americans such as the Aztecas, the Mayas, or the Olmecs. In other parts of Latin America such as Argentina, the European influence is absolute. If we go to Peru, Bolivia or Ecuador, the Native American influence is the majority. In places such as Brazil, the influence of African people is more than notorious.

The other options of the question were B) American. C) Asian. D) Australian.
