    (B) Africans adopted locally elected democratic institutions based on European models.

    Explanation:

    Imperialism in Africa determined the division of the continent between the European powers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. For several centuries the continent was exploited by foreign colonists and to this day suffers the consequences of the interventions of yore.

    European peoples had great supremacy in the process of imperialist conquest on the African continent. The capacity of such countries, through the growth achieved over the centuries on the basis of exploitation, was undeniable and offered conditions of confrontation with great power. African communities, however, did not fail to confront the Europeans, it is quite true that defeat was almost inevitable, but the process of imperialist domination in Africa was not as easy as it may seem.

    The African peoples fought to get rid of the imperialists until the freedom of the country was declared. However, it cannot be denied that some features of European culture were absorbed by Africans. These characteristics influenced the way of life and government organization.

    African countries have adopted management models identified as inspired by European management models, one example of which was Africans adopting locally elected democratic institutions based on European models.
