Answer:

Answer is D

Islam and Indigenous African religions were the primary religions practiced in the Sudanic empires of West Africa. Islam was introduced to the region by traders and travelers from the Middle East and North Africa, and it quickly spread across the area through the powerful empires. The Indigenous African religions, which varied by ethnic group, were also practiced and generally centered around ancestor worship and the belief in a supreme deity or deities.
