The Scramble for Africa refers to the period between roughly 1884 and 1914, when the European colonisers partitioned the – up to that point – largely unexplored African continent into protectorates, colonies and ‘free-trade areas’. At the time the colonisers had limited knowledge of local conditions and their primary consideration was to avoid conflict among themselves for African soil. Since no one could foresee the short-lived colonial era, the border design – which endured the wave of independence in the 1960s – had sizable long-lasting economic and political consequences. The Scramble for Africa resulted in several large countries characterised by highly heterogeneous geography and ethnically fragmented populations that limit the ability of governments to broadcast power and build state capacity.
The correct answer is A. The British soldiers panicked when they were shot at.
Explanation:

Moreover, the author states the French and Indians began to shot "some of them fired", and this led to a general panic in the British side "this immediately struck a general Pannic; the Men could not be persuaded to form regularly." Thus, in this battle, the British soldiers panicked when they were shot at.
