Chinua Achebe critiques Joseph Conrad for the racist portrayal of Africans in his book 'The Heart of Darkness.' He contradicts Conrad's point of view by providing 'historical evidence that Conrad researched' as he felt that the latter being an outsider could never feel the actual pain and struggle suffered by the Africans. These historical instances not only deny Conrad's portrayal of Africans as Savage but also glorifies the rich history and culture of Africa which existed before the arrival of colonizers. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
