There is strong cultural influence from Africa in northeast region because Option C: African slaves were brought in the area to work on sugar cane plantations.

Explanation:

There were different types of slaves such as field workers and house slaves. Slaves which were field workers were brought in the northeast region of America for sugar plantations. They were brought here by Portuguese. Portuguese noticed that the land was quite fertile and climate was suitable for growing crops. Slaves worked for plantation of sugarcane fields and even for the maintenance of this area.

Sugar economy grew in Brazil only because of these slaves. So, the most apt reason is Option C.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
