Answer:

C) African tribal boundaries

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Berlin Conference or Scramble for Africa, Europeans divided Africa amongst themselves by arbitrarily drawing up borders, creating a hodgepodge of colonial holdings, and disregarding the cultural and linguistic boundaries already established by the indigenous African population. This led to the creation of 50 countries in Africa by 1914.
