B and C both seem like irrelevant choices to me. choice A definitely relates to the excerpt, because the main idea of it is that ethiopians should be given "a respect agreeable" and choice A describes that idea. however, in the case of choice B, the excerpt says that ethiopians are the children of adam and eve, but that doesn't necessarily suggest that ethiopians and africans are from the same location. i think B is too literal of an interpretation, personally. C also seems irrelevant, because the excerpt doesn't mention the concept of love and it doesn't state that we should love them--it says that they should be treated with respect, and for me, there is a distinction there. i would say that D is correct, because it states that ethiopians are "the offspring of god" which emphasizes that they, alongside others, are children of god.

i don't know if you're allowed to pick multiple answers here or what, because i believe B and C are equally incorrect.
