Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
During this time, traditional African beliefs that the people of Mali practiced were blended with traditional Islamic beliefs because of the trade dominance Mali held. This is common in many other African cities that partook in trade, because the most important thing spread on trade routes was not items, rather beliefs and ideas. And Islamic beliefs reached Mali through trade, and created a blended set of beliefs called through 'Religious Syncretism'.
