The correct answer is B. It is not true that both passed power peacefully to successors, as Jomo Kenyatta didn't, but on the contrary, he was an authoritarian ruler until his death.

Explanation:

Jomo Kenyatta was a Kenyan politician, president of the country from 1964 until his death in 1978.

He came from the Kikuyu tribe. He studied social anthropology in the United Kingdom at the London School of Economics. After his return to the country in 1946, he became a leader of the liberation movement in Kenya and the chairman of the African National Union of Kenya. In 1952 he was arrested with his colleagues by the British authorities.

Released in 1961, he played a major role in bringing the country to independence. He headed the African National Union of Kenya (KANU), ensuring him victory in the 1963 general election; he became prime minister, and after Kenya gained independence on December 12, 1963, he became the first president of the country.

He fought against tribal and racial antagonisms; managed to convince foreign capital to invest in Kenya and white settlers to stay in the country and cooperate; he pursued a decidedly pro-Western policy. In an attempt to strengthen power, he banned all political organizations (except KANU) in 1969.
