Answer:

D. Portuguese

Step-by-step explanation:

The Portuguese formed alliances with Kongo leaders in the 1400s and 1500s.

The Kongo had been unstable with factional and regional conflicts and accepted an alliance with the Portuguese so they could restore order.

The Kongo leaders gave the Portuguese some colonies, allowing them to trade and have access to the Kongo slave labor.
