To determine the answer to this question, you can start by understanding what the Bantu migrations were and their impact on other cultures.
The Bantu migrations were a series of population movements originating in West Africa around 1000 BCE. Over the following millennia, Bantu-speaking people migrated across the continent, spreading their language, culture, and agricultural practices.
As the Bantu people moved, they encountered and interacted with various indigenous cultures. The impact of these interactions varied, but one of the consequences was the assimilation or absorption of some indigenous cultures into the Bantu culture.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is D) absorbed into the new culture.
