Which best describes the bantu people? a) the bantu are nomadic people from the sahara desert b) the bantu only live in cities and town; none of them farm c) the bantu are a separate race in the northern part of the continent d) they are islamic traders

The correct choice is (A).

This is because “Over 4,000 years ago, the Bantu speaking people migrated from West Africa in several major waves of migration. First, they moved east, north of the tropical rainforest in the region near north of East Africa. They then migrated south to the central highlands of Africa in what is believed to have been the third wave of migration. Finally, they moved southwards to occupy Southern Africa regions which led to the displacement of indigenous communities of Khoisan people. In the process of displacement and settlement, there was ethnic and linguistic mixing.”

Choice (B) is incorrect because “Even though many reasons for the expansion remain inconclusive, the Bantu speaking people are believed to have migrated because of their agricultural lifestyle especially with the discovery of yams and bananas.”

Choice (C) and (D) are also incorrect because they are not true.
