Answer:
The dynamics that played out in the lifetime of Nzinga Mbemba, King Afonso I of the Kingdom of Kongo typified the ambiguous nature of the socio-economic and international relations that still takes place even in the 21st century.
Explanation:
King Afonso, a Christian convert successfully established trade with the Europeans. The Europeans, however, wanted more than Wine and agri-produce. It was a dispensation when Slave Trade was still legal and a norm with the Europeans, perhaps even more lucrative than the agri-produce they came to Kongolese for.
Against the wishes of the King, the Kings subjects sold out their own free people to the Europeans in exchange for Portuguese merchandise. He threatened to stop trading with the Europeans altogether if this didn't stop.
These dynamics are very similar across the coastal kingdoms of the African continent where the colonianism became hegemonic and has translated to neo-colonianism to date.
A good example is Nigeria where history records that the British left power to the North who to date believe it is their birth to rule not just the Northern states/region but to also dominate the other regions such as the south-south, south-west and the south-east.

Its A. Its the only choice that makes any sense.
Pennsylvania and New York were certainly the most religiously and ethically diverse colonies of their time. Policies of religious freedom attracted a diverse range of settlers.
Most people converted to Islam because it was a very tolerant religion and it appealed to many. However, since the question is asking what "burden" was an influence, the only one I can think of would have to be the jizya. The jizya was a special tax that non-Muslims had to pay to live under Muslim protection in Muslim lands; if they convert to Islam they wouldn't have to pay it.
Well, according to a Crashcourse episode, the Spanish would have gotten poorer because they couldn't extract resources from their territories.
Are there answer choices?
