Bantu peoples is used as a general label for the 300–600 ethnic groups in Africa who speak Bantu languages.[1] They inhabit a geographical area stretching east and southward from Central Africa across the African Great Lakes region down to Southern Africa.[1] Bantu is a major branch of the Niger-Congo language family spoken by most populations in Africa. There are about 650 Bantu languages by the criterion of mutual intelligibility,[2] though the distinction between language and dialect is often unclear, and Ethnologue counts 535 languages.[3]
Around 3000 years ago, speakers of the Proto-Bantu language group began a millennia-long series of migrations eastward from their homeland between West Africa and Central Africa, at the border of eastern Nigeria and Cameroon.[4] This Bantu expansion first introduced Bantu peoples to central, southern, and southeastern Africa, regions they had previously been absent from. The proto-Bantu migrants in the process assimilated and/or displaced a number of earlier inhabitants that they came across, including Pygmyand Khoisan populations in the center and south, respectively. They also encountered some Afro-Asiatic outlier groups in the southeast, who had been there for centuries migrating from Northeast Africa.[5][6]
Individual Bantu groups today often include millions of people. Among these are the Luba of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with over 13.5 million people; the Zulu of South Africa, with over 10 million people; the Sukuma of Tanzania which are about eight million people, Kikuyu of Kenya, with over six million people. Although only around five million individuals speak the Arabic-influenced Swahili language as their mother tongue,[7] it is used as a lingua franca by over 140 million people throughout Southeast Africa.[8] Swahili also serves as one of the official languages of the African Union.

Answer:
The correct answer is B. Alice Paul was a significant woman during the Progressive Era because she was the leader of the suffrage movement's most militant wing and proposed an Equal Rights Amendment in 1920.
Explanation:
Alice Stokes Paul was an American feminist activist, who led the campaign for the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Paul thought of the struggle for suffrage with radical measures and forms, far from the moderation of the National Woman's Suffrage Association. In addition, her sole objective was to reform the Constitution, instead of carrying out state-by-state referendums. She was expelled from the association in 1916 and founded the National Women's Party, with which she continued her activism for more than half a century.
After obtaining the approval and ratification of the Nineteenth Aendment to the Constitution in 1920, Paul continued to work in the international arena under the World Women's Party, which among other things achieved the inclusion of women's rights in the Charter of the United Nations. In addition, the activist promoted the inclusion of a protection for women in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and was the author of the Equal Rights Amendment, which was approved by Parliament but failed to ratify enough states to become effective.
