Answer:

B. 200 ethnic groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of the most populated regions in Central Africa which was formerly known as Zaire. This nation is populated by more than 200 ethnic groups, of which the most population is from the Bantu tribe.

Aside from the Bantu tribe, there are other groups like the Mangbetu-Azande who, along with the various Bantu tribes make up almost half of the whole population. This Central African nation has been a strife with numerous corruption problems and civil wars resulting in the deaths of millions of people. And like almost all African nations, the land is also famous for their internal conflicts and problems with rebel groups. And while there are also numerous cities, there are still large numbers of traditional villages scattered in the rural areas.
