Solution
The correct option is D Africa
The continent of Africa was
divided mercilessly amongst major European powers. In 1885 European leaders met at the infamous Berlin Conference to divide Africa and arbitrarily

all the states that make up present day Africa were parceled out among the colonial powers within a few years after the meeting.
