The religions of Santería and Vodou are examples of the blending of Spanish and West African influences.
To answer the question, you need to use the drop-down menu, which is not available in a text-based platform. However, I can explain the answer to you.
The correct answer is "the blending of Spanish and West African." Santería and Vodou are both syncretic religions that emerged in the Caribbean due to the blending of elements from Catholicism brought by the Spanish colonizers and African religious traditions brought by West African slaves during the era of the Atlantic slave trade.
Santería originated in Cuba and combines elements of Yoruba religion from Nigeria with Catholicism. Vodou, on the other hand, emerged in Haiti and is a mixture of African animism, indigenous beliefs, and Catholicism. Both religions reflect the cultural and religious fusion that occurred as a result of colonization and the forced displacement of African peoples to the Americas.
