Question

How did the Colonization Era impact the population distribution of people with African ethnicity in South America?

A.
Seeing that most Africans migrated from Central Africa, many of them settled in the central region of South America which is why there are more people of African ethnicity living there today.
B.
Although Portugal colonized the interior region of South America, West Central Africans colonized the coastal region which is why there are more people of African ethnicity living there today.
C.
Due to the laws restricting slavery on the west coast of South America, many enslaved Africans escaped to that area which is why that area has a high population of people of African ethnicity living there today.

D.
Since most South American plantations were located on the eastern coast and these plantations used enslaved labor, there are more people of African ethnicity living on the eastern coast of South America today.
