Respuesta :

Answer:A is the correct answer

Explanation:

Most African American are into Christianity so most of their beliefs are based on the Bible faith .

In the Bible mostly God punishes people for their rebellion and sins even though He is seen as a forgiving God but according to the faith constantly sinful nature is punishable and mostly African American hold onto this belief that one's sin will have consequences such as illness.
