The correct answer is D. Prior to the 1600s, Muslim traders had major influence on the languages, religion, and other aspects of culture in many African societies.

Explanation:

During the period after the Middle Ages and before the Age of Discovery, Europe began to emerge from its isolation and engage commercially and socially with other peoples, mainly with China and the Middle East.

The Silk Road, the main commercial route of the time, began to dynamically connect Europe with these two regions. Thus, eastern merchants began to move their spices and other goods to Europe, even founding cities on the side of this route. Thus, North Africa began to populate with Arab cities, whose settlers began to impose their culture and language in the region. In turn, the inhabitants of these cities began to expand to the rest of the continent, which generated a great influence on the part of this culture, which came to reaffirm the Arab conquest of North Africa that took place in the 500s and 600s.
