C. Amerindian . . . African

"Mestizo" meaning either Spaniard or American Indian
"Mulatto" referring to any offspring with one white and one black parent.

I used these definitions to make my assumption and to get to that answer, if these definitions help you get to a different answer, I'm glad to help. :)
