Answer:
A. The Portuguese
Explanation:
*This excerpt is directly from the Penn Foster reading material.
When the Portuguese began interacting with the people of the Kingdom of Kongo, they introduced Christianity. Christian rituals and ceremonies were appealing to many. The first Kongolese ruler to convert to Christianity was Afonso I (ruler from 1506–1543 CE). He established Catholicism as the royal household's religion and convinced the pope to appoint a bishop within the Kingdom of Kongo. The spreading of Christianity had a long-term effect on the region's art and architecture.
