Answer: B) African countries were not invited nor welcomed to this meeting.

All of the 14 participants of the Berlin Conference were European, with the exception of the Ottoman Empire which, even thou it controlled some territories in northern Africa, they were autonomous territories.

Besides that fact, there was no participation by any African country, since the conferenceĀ“s goal was to regulate European colonialism and trade throughout Africa.
