Answer:

B. There was a large isolated concentration of Africans there.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gullah developed in rice fields during the 18th century as a result of contact between colonial varieties of English and the languages of African slaves. These Africans and their descendants created the new language in response to their own linguistic diversity.
