The correct answer is: Partition Africa.

Step-by-step explanation

In the XIX century, the European countries had colonies around the world in other continents like Asia, Africa, and America. In the case of Africa, the European occupation started with the objective to discover all the unexplored territory of this continent. On the other hand, the European countries wanted to know the economic opportunities in this continent, with this initiative, the European expeditions for different countries started, and established points of control and took over territories. For that reason, the European countries decided to do an official partition of Africa to avoid problems with the other countries for their presence in Africa. The official partition was in the Berlin Conference of 1885. So, the correct answer is B. Partition Africa.
