Use the drop-down menu to complete the following sentence.
made Timbuktu into a major center of Islamic scholarship.
A. Ali Ber

D. Sundial
A. Ali Ber
To determine the best answer choice that describes one way Christianity came to East Africa, we need to analyze each option.
A. Christians traveling in caravans through the Sahara desert and introducing the people of Mali to a new religion does not describe the spread of Christianity to East Africa, as Mali is located in West Africa.
B. Christian traders from the Mediterranean interacting with the people of Axum is a possibility. Axum, an ancient kingdom in modern-day Ethiopia, was one of the earliest regions in East Africa to adopt Christianity.
C. Christian military from West Africa traveling across the continent to bring their religion to the people of East Africa is unlikely since there is no historical evidence of significant Christian military expeditions from West Africa to East Africa.
D. Christian rulers from Asia traveling to East Africa to bring their religion to the people is also improbable as there is no historical documentation of Christian rulers from Asia reaching East Africa specifically for the purpose of spreading Christianity.
By process of elimination, option B, referring to Christian traders from the Mediterranean interacting with the people of Axum, is the most accurate choice.
