The missionaries were motivated by belief that African natives needed the Christian message to be saved eternally, as well as feeling motivated to help the earthly well-being of the peoples in Africa as a Christian duty to help those in need.
Note that there is an implication in all of this that the European culture was superior to the African culture, and that the people of the central African rainforest were indeed in need. Missionary endeavors set up medical clinics and schools and other facilities to aid the African natives. There certainly was much good done in this way, but there also was a paternalistic attitude of the "white man's burden" to help seemingly lower human beings. (Rudyard Kipling wrote the poem "White Man's Burden" in 1899 in reference to a different imperial venture, but the thought applies here as well.)

Answer:
La opción correcta es B. El planteamiento eje del pensamiento ilustrado fue que la razón nos lleva al progreso.
Explanation:
La Ilustración fue un movimiento cultural, filosófico e intelectual en Europa que tuvo lugar principalmente en el siglo XVIII. Este movimiento fue una respuesta a la creencia dogmática en la autoridad, basada en el derecho divino de los reyes y la predominancia de la Iglesia Católica en la política y la sociedad europea. Durante este período, surgió un movimiento cultural e intelectual cuyo objetivo era promover el uso de la razón y la filosofía.
Los pensadores ilustrados defendían que la razón solo se basa en hechos, por ocultos que puedan estar, y no en creencias subjetivas y dogmáticas. De esta manera, ponían a los hechos objetivos y comprobables como base de la razón y por ende del conocimiento. Así, la Ilustración representaba la promoción de la ciencia y el intercambio intelectual, frente al absolutismo cultural ejercido por las religiones. Sus propagandistas lucharon contra la superstición, el abuso de los derechos en la iglesia y el estado, la intolerancia y defendieron ciertos derechos fundamentales como la vida y la libertad.
