The correct answer is music and dance during the celebration of Carnival. To determine this, we look at the options and consider which one reflects the strong influence of African traditions in Brazil.
First, we can eliminate the option of the use of plantation agriculture to grow cash crops. While this may have been influenced by African slavery, it does not directly demonstrate the strong influence of African traditions.
Next, we can eliminate the option of the large Catholic majority in Brazil. While Catholicism is a significant religion in Brazil, it does not specifically represent the strong influence of African traditions.
Lastly, we can consider the option of the strong national interest in soccer. While soccer is popular in Brazil, it is not directly related to African traditions.
Therefore, the option that best represents the strong influence of African traditions in Brazil is music and dance during the celebration of Carnival. During Carnival, Brazil showcases various music and dance styles that have been influenced by African traditions, making it a significant cultural event in the country.
